General
Not everyone has the space for a full-sized piano, whether acoustic or digital, so the tight, streamlined and space-saving design of the Korg LP-380 digital piano should be welcome in any living room. This 88-note model also has the added upgrade of full USB functionality, so it can be directly connected to a computer, smartphone or tablet and used alongside the KORG Module app or other software and sample libraries to control MIDI data using a genuine-feeling instrument.
The KORG LP-380 USB Digital Piano
In terms of looks, the LP-380 has the same outline as an acoustic upright piano but with a more paired-down, minimal aesthetic. The playing feel is just a natural and authentic thanks to the RH-3 keyboard, loaded with Real Weighted Hammer Action keys, and this keyboard is handmade in Japan, one example at a time, so you're absolutely assured that this instrument has been crafted, rather than machine-constructed in a factory, and guarantees a superb playing experience. This exquisite piano has also been fitted with sustain, soft and sostenuto pedals, as well as built-in half-pedal support.
The Specifics
Loaded with a hefty 2x 22 Watt amplifier and a set of two 10cm speakers, the LP-380 packs plenty of volume, while the piano sound itself is woven by four velocity layers to shape stunningly articulated dynamics and realism. Besides piano sounds, the LP-380 offers electric piano, harpsichord, clavichord, vibraphone, marimba, guitar, organ and church organ, strings, and a choir, amounting to a total of 30 sounds. The more advanced pianist is also provided with nine different tunings/temperaments, as well transpose and fine-tuning functions.
