The Korg LP-380U features Korg’s flagship RH3-graded hammer action keybed, which features a graduated weighting across the keyboard, with a heavier feel in the lower-register keys and a lighter feel the further up you play. The RH3 keybed is incredibly sensitive to the nuances of your playing, accurately delivering the full expression you put into each performance. You have a choice of three Touch selections — Light, Normal, or Heavy — to match the keyboard’s response to your playing technique or to optimize for the material being played. Each key is sampled at four different velocities, allowing the LP-380U to faithfully reproduce every detail of your performances, from subtle nuances to powerful crescendos. For stunning realism, the Classic Piano and Grand Piano patches even authentically reproduce the cabinet resonances that occur when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano.
Electric pianos are a staple of modern music, and the ones in the LP-380U are first rate. These EPs not only reproduce the way that the tone responds to your touch, delivering vintage bark and bite when you dig in; they also reproduce the subtle sounds that are triggered when you release a key. Six distinct varieties of EPs are onboard, covering the classics widely used in the pop, soul, and R&B music of the 1960s and ’70s.
Gorgeous acoustic and electric pianos are only the beginning! There are a total of 30 high-quality, expressive sounds onboard the LP-380U, covering a range of instruments that includes harpsichords, clavinets, mallets, acoustic guitar, organs strings, and choirs. In addition, there’s Layer Mode, which lets you play two sounds together, plus a Partner Mode that divides the keyboard into identical left and right sections — perfect for duets and teacher/student interaction. Two headphone jacks make it convenient for two people to play together without disturbing others. Three built-in effects — Brilliance, Reverb, and Chorus — make it easy to customize your sounds for any style of music
When you want thrilling, room-filling sound, the LP-380U obliges with a speaker system that boasts the highest output in its class to deliver rich, mellifluous tone with sonorous lows, crystalline highs, and lush resonance. The two full-range speakers are positioned inside the cabinet to allow the sound to resonate for even richer depth. For even greater realism, the speakers’ placement below the keyboard creates the illusion that the sound is enveloping the entire piano and radiating out into the room, just like a real acoustic grand.
The LP-380U includes a built-in pedal unit with all three pedals normally found on a concert grand piano: soft, sostenuto, and damper. The damper and soft pedals even support advanced half-pedaling techniques. These pedals are situated on your LP-380U in the ideal position for an authentic acoustic grand piano playing experience.

The LP-380 is a digital piano that's designed with a style to match your interior decor. Merely 26 cm in depth, it's slim enough to fit anywhere. The wooden key cover is flat on top, allowing the instrument to blend elegantly into your room when you're not playing it. Keeping safety in mind, the cover uses a soft landing mechanism to ensure that it closes gently. The slim and stylish chassis projects a sense of stability. The RH3 keyboard, three pedals, and large-diameter speakers ensure a superb piano-playing experience and rich piano sound.
In order to reproduce the playing feel of an acoustic piano as closely as possible, the sound switches between four piano samples according to your playing dynamics. From subtle touches to powerful crescendos, the sound will respond realistically to your playing. In particular, the Classic Piano and Grand Piano sounds realistically reproduce the damper resonances that occur when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, making the overall sound of the piano even more pleasant and enjoyable to play.
As a musical instrument manufacturer, Korg has placed particular emphasis on the electric piano sounds. They not only reproduce the way that the tone responds to your touch, but they also reproduce the subtle noises that occur when you release a key. Six varieties are provided, covering the sounds widely used in pop music of the '60s and '70s, as well as some of the tones that are highly regarded in soul music.
Starting with piano and electric piano, there are a total of thirty expressive and high-quality sounds built in. There's also a Layer Mode that lets you play two sounds together, and a Partner Mode that divides the keyboard into left and right regions so that two people can play the same range of pitches at the same time. Two headphone jacks make it convenient for two people to enjoy playing the LP-380 together. You also have a choice of nine different temperaments, supporting historically authentic performances with period instrument ensembles.
There are three effects: brilliance adjusts the brightness of the tone, reverb simulates the natural ambience (reverberation) of a concert hall, and chorus adds spaciousness.
The amplifier (22W x 2) boasts the highest output in its class, properly reproducing the expressive piano sounds with rich tone, sonorous lows, sparkling highs, and gorgeous resonance. Two large-diameter 10 cm speakers are placed inside the cabinet, allowing the sound to resonate for even richer depth. Placing the speakers below the keyboard creates the sensation that the sound is enveloping the entire piano, providing even greater realism.
The Real Weighted Hammer Action 3 (RH3) keyboard reproduces the same playing experience as on a grand piano, with heavier response in the lower register that becomes lighter as you play upward. With improved response to repeated keystrokes, even rapid passages can be reproduced without impairing the expression of the performer. There's also a Key Touch Control function that lets you choose one of three levels to specify how your playing dynamics will affect the sound, allowing you to personalize the instrument to your own keyboard touch. With a view toward the environment, no lead is used in the hammers of the keyboard.
In consideration of the user's possible need to move or relocate the instrument, the LP-380 has been lightened by approximately 5.0 kg in comparison to the previous model (LP-350), making it easier to move or transport, as well as making assembly safer.
You can use the LINE OUT jack (stereo mini-jack) to connect the instrument to your amplified speaker system or recording device.
The LP-380 includes all three pedals that are normally found on a concert grand piano, including support for realistic half-pedaling on both the damper and soft pedals. These pedals are affixed to the LP-380 in the perfect position for an authentic piano playing experience.
The LP-380 supports MIDI, the unified standard for transferring performance data between electronic musical instruments and computers. MIDI allows connected devices to control each other, and lets you use the LP-380 as a 16-part multi-timbral sound module.
The built-in metronome lets you adjust the time signature, tempo, and volume. It also lets you use a bell sound as the accent.
