Korg LP350 Lifestyle Digital Piano  

The Korg LP-350 Lifestyle Digital Piano is a modern, slimline piano that enhances your home—not only with its deeply expressive sound, but also with its beautiful appearance. Designed to visually complement nearly any living space, The Korg LP350 piano is less than 11 inches deep,making it both space-saving and efficient. When not in use, the soft-closing keyboard cover leaves a smooth, flat top with absolutely no protruding hinges, allowing the Korg LP-350 to become part of your room's decor. Don't be fooled by its skinny profile, however, the Korg LP-350 piano is equipped to provide robust and accurate piano performance. The LP-350 is a grand-touch action keyboard, with 3 pedals, and a powerful speaker system to deliver its rich piano sound.

The piano sound of the Korg LP-350 was meticulously sampled—in stereo—directly from a concert grand piano to ensure a lavishly resonant tone. The samples were captured at multiple velocity levels, so subtle variations in expression will be naturally reflected in the piano sound you hear. The LP-350 extends beyond piano to include a rich variety of sounds—thirty in all—including Vibraphone, Marimba, Acoustic Guitar, multiple Jazz Organs, Church Organs, and more. In addition, the Layer mode allows two sounds to be played simultaneously with the balance between the two sounds also being adjustable.

The Korg LP-350 keyboard has been designed with Korg's finest piano touch and feel, using their RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) technology. Just as on a traditional grand piano, the keyboard provides a heavier playing touch in the lower register, becoming progressively lighter towards the upper keys. Refinements designed for capturing rapidly repeated strikes ensure that the your expressive abilities will not be impaired even during fast passages. Three levels of touch sensitivity are available using the Key Touch Control function, allowing you to customize the dynamic response to your own playing style. Note: As a measure of environmental responsibility, Korg does not use lead in the keyboard hammers.

The internal stereo sound system of the Korg LP-350 Digital Piano features 2 large 10cm speakers powered by a pair of 11W amplifiers. These speakers are housed in a bass-reflex enclosure, providing extended low-end response for a deep, full sound. The position of the speaker enclosure below the keyboard allows the sound to envelope the entire piano, creating a more natural resonance.

Pedals are an indispensable part of getting a true piano performance, and the Korg LP-350 provides the same three pedals found on a concert grand piano: damper, soft, and sostenuto. Both the damper and soft pedals support half-pedaling to allow more subtle expressive touches. The entire pedal unit can be repositioned on the piano, providing extra support when used free-standing, or offering a more compact footprint when placed against a wall or partition.

Additional features to enhance your performance enjoyment:

•Effects: Onboard reverb adds depth and ambience, and chorus adds motion and fullness. The depth for each effect is independently adjustable.

•Metronome: The metronome is convenient for practice and learning. The tempo can be set by the slider, or a specific tempo may be entered manually. In addition, the meter/time signature is also selectable, with a selectable accent (standard or bell) to mark the downbeat. The metronome volume can be freely set.

•Key Transpose: The musical key of the LP-350 can be quickly set, to allow familiar fingerings while sounding different keys. This is helpful when working with singers with varying ranges (male/female etc.) or different instruments.

•Temperaments: In addition to equal temperament and piano stretch-tunings, you can choose from two historical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) for period-correct performances.

•Demo songs: 30 demonstration songs ranging from classical to originals can be individually selected, or listened to in series, showcasing each of the onboard sounds.

•MIDI connectors: The LP-350 provides both IN and OUT jacks that support MIDI, the standard way to transfer performance data between electronic musical instruments and computers. This can be used for educational software, edutainment applications, MIDI recording, or with notation software.

•Dual headphone jacks: Two headphones can be connected simultaneously for student/teacher; parent/child; friendly duets; etc.
