You can use Layer mode to simultaneously play two sounds at once, or you can use Partner mode, which allows two people to play the same range, one on each half of the key- board. Effects The LP-380 provides 3 built-in digital eects. These eects can adjust the brightness of the tone (Brilliance), simulate the natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add richness to the sound (Chorus). Pedal effects As on an acoustic piano, the LP-380 has three pedals that control the damper, sostenuto and so eects. The damper pedal and so pedal will respond to half-pedaling, allow- ing you to vary the depth of the eect by how far you’re pressing the pedal. When pressing the damper pedal, you can also add the damper resonance to the classic piano and the grand piano tone (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1). Metronome The built-in metronome allows you to select the time sig- nature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell sound as the accent. Touch control You can choose from three dierent seings to adjust how the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics. Temperaments For authentic performance of a wide range of music, the LP-380 allows you to select from nine temperaments, in- cluding the equal temperament, pure temperaments (ma- jor and minor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) as well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern and Indian folk music. When an acoustic piano sound is selected, the stretched tuning used on pianos is automatically selected. Adjustable pitch The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano, and the Pitch Control function allows you to make nely tuned adjustments. Two headphone jacks Two headphone jacks are provided, allowing two people to listen simultaneously. LINE OUT jack An amplied speaker or recording equipment can be con- nected by using the LINE OUT jack. MIDI capabilities The LP-380 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard that allows music data to be transferred between musi- cal instruments and computers. MIDI allows two or more devices to control or be controlled by each other, and also allows you to use the LP-380 as a 16-part multitimbral tone generator.4 12.Soundbuons: This button is used to select from 30 sounds (10 × 3 banks). Two buons can be pressed to play two sounds simultaneously (Layer mode). 13.Display: The display shows seings, for example, for the Func- tion mode and the metronome. 14.UP/DOWNbuons: These buons are used to select a value for the various seings. 15.METRONOMEbuon: This buon is used to start/stop the metronome.

Each time the LP-380 is turned on, the sound in bank 1 is selected for all sound buons. Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer mode) You can play two sounds at the same time on the key- board. This is called the Layer mode. Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the sounds to be played at the same time. The two selected sound buons will light up. The lemost or uppermost selected sound buon is layer 1, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see the diagram at the below). For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected, E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2. In order to use sounds in dierent banks, rst select the banks in the Single mode for the sound buons to be pressed. For example, to play by layering the grand piano and jazz organ 2 sounds, select bank 1 (grand piano) for the PIANO1 buon and bank 2 (jazz organ 2) for the ORGAN1 buon, and then press both buons simultaneously. When selecting Layer mode, the total number of voic- es that can play at the same time is reduced, depend- ing on the total number of oscillators used by the se- lected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 16.) Sounds in dierent banks for the same sound buon (grand piano and jazz piano for the PIANO1 buon) cannot be selected. Returning to the Single mode To return to Single mode, just press a single sound se- lection buon. Layer mode settings In Layer mode, the volume balance between sounds can be adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shi- ed, and the damper pedal can be enabled or disabled for each sound.

The FUNCTION buon turns o. In Partner mode, the sound for the le and right sides can be changed, and the volume can be adjusted. For details, refer to “Partner mode seings” on page 12. Using pedals The LP-380 has three pedals; damper, sostenuto, and so. You can use the pedals to make your playing more expressive and realistic. Soft pedal (left) Pressing this pedal will make the tone soer. You can con- trol the soness of the tone by how far down you press the on pedal (“half-pedaling”). Sostenuto pedal (center) Pressing this pedal will apply the damper eect only to the notes that are already being held down on the keyboard, and will sustain only those notes. The damper eect will not be applied to any additional notes that you play while holding down the Sostenuto pedal. Damper pedal (right) Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a richly resonant decay. You can also add the damper reso- nance to the classic piano and the grand piano tone (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1). You can also use halfpedalling, with a gradual resonance effect depending on the depth of the pedal pressure (“half-pedaling”). Partner mode indication

Loud notes can be produced only by playing very hard. When the instrument is turned on, the touch seing is reset to Normal. The seings are applied to all sounds. Transpose In some cases, a song may be wrien in a dicult key (e.g., many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you can transpose (shi the pitch) so that you can use an easier fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a dierent pitch. This is called the Transpose function. For example if you transpose upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown at the lower le will produce the pitches shown at the right. When the instrument is turned on, the transposing is reset. While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the keyboard key (F

6–F7) for the desired transposition. If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANS- POSE button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is transposed. The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according to the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7. To return to the original pitches, hold down the TRANS- POSE buon and press the C7 key. The TRANSPOSE but- ton turns o, and transposition is canceled.

1,4 When the LP-380 is turned o, all parameters return to their default seings. Changing the MIDI channels Data can be transmied and received on MIDI channels 1 through 16 (C01–C16). When the LP-380 is turned on, transmission channel 1 (C01) is automatically selected.

• WhenyouentertheMIDIfunctionmode,thePIA- NO1soundbuonlightsup. When the MIDI function mode is entered, the MIDI channel seing normally appears. To specify the MIDI channel setting after changing other settings in the MIDI function mode, press the PIANO1 buon. In the Layer mode, selecting the transmission channel specifies the channel for layer 1. The transmission chan- nel for layer 2 will automatically be set to the following channel. For example, if MIDI channel 7 is selected for the sound of layer 1, MIDI channel 8 will automatically be specied for the sound of layer 2. If MIDI channel 16 is se- lected for the sound of layer 1, channel 1 will be specied for the sound of layer 2. Local On/Off With the Local On seing, playing the LP-380’s keyboard produces the sounds of the performance as well as trans- mits MIDI data. With the Local Off setting, playing the LP-380’s keyboard does not produce the sounds of the performance; MIDI data is only transmied. Normally this parameter is set to Local On (default seing: on). The Local Off setting should be selected when using the LP-380 as a master keyboard, for example, to play sounds from a connected MIDI device (a keyboard, sound module, etc.). The LP-380 will not produce sound, but the perfor- mance will be played by the connected MIDI device. Select the Local Off setting (oFF) when using the LP-380 as a sound module, for example, when the LP-380 is con- nected to a sequencer with its Echo Back seing (function that sends back data that the sequencer received) selected in order to prevent echoing of returned data.

MIDI, is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is an international standard that was created to connect and transfer data between electronic musical instruments, computers and other devices. What can you do with MIDI? Thanks to MIDI, you can use the LP-380 to control other instruments, use other instruments to control the LP-380, and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces. When you use the LP-380 keyboard or pedal, or select a sound, the notes, pedal activation and change in sound are transmitted to another instrument, or are recorded by a sequencer. Connections Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI connectors of the LP-380 to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI device that you want to exchange data with. There are two types of MIDI connector. MIDIINconnector This connector receives MIDI messages. The MIDI IN connector lets you play the LP-380’s sounds from an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or se- quencer). Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-380’s MIDI IN connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT connector. MIDIOUTconnector This connector transmits MIDI messages. The MIDI OUT connector lets you control an external MIDI device using the MIDI messages transmitted from the LP-380. Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-380’s MIDI OUT connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI IN connector. MIDI function mode When the LP-380 is turned on, the MIDI parameters are set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1–16), Local On and Omni O. These settings can be changed from the MIDI function mode. Setting procedure for parameters in the MIDI function mode

Appendix Troubleshooting If during use any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the instrument to see if you can nd out what the problem is, and try resolving it by following the suggestions below. If the instrument will still not function properly refer to your dealer. The instrument will not turn on

• Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the piano and the outlet. No sound

• Is the speaker cord of the speaker box on the stand con- nected with the speaker connector on the LP-380 cor- rectly?

• Make sure that the volume is not set on MIN. If it is, bring it up to an adequate level.

• Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on OFF. If it is, set it to ON (or turn the instrument o and then on again).

• Make sure there is not a jack plugged into one of the Headphones jacks. This would turn the internal speak- ers o. if so, unplug the jack. Notes are interrupted

• You have exceeded the maximum polyphony. see “About maximum polyphony.” The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some key regions

• The LP-380’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that the overtones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch seems wrong. This is not a malfunction. The connected MIDI device does not respond to trans- mitted MIDI data

• Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected. Make sure that the LP-380 is receiving MIDI data on the same channel as the MIDI device. About maximum polyphony If the number of notes being played simultaneously ex- ceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost since the LP-380 is equipped with a mechanism that stops the rst note being played to give priority to notes played with keys pressed later. Some LP-380 sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more oscillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of VIBES/GUITAR, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using two oscillators, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of PIANO2 and in banks 1 and 3 of E.PIANO2, have a maximum polyphony of 60 notes. 120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully choose sounds when using Layer mode to play two sounds simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.17
