KORG
LP-350 "LIFESTYLE" Digital Piano"
WINTER NAMM SHOW, ANAHEIM, CA, January 15, 2009 Korg unveils
the LP-350 Digital Piano, featuring rich and expressive, realistic piano sound
based on the latest Korg sampling technology. This full 88-note keyboard is
specially designed to complement the modern lifestyle in a fashionable and
functional, yet unobtrusive way. Measuring a mere 10.9" deep, the slim-line
cabinet design fits easily into nearly any environment, and two available
finishes complement nearly any dιcor chic black or elegant white. Even when
not in use, the LP-350 is a welcome enhancement to a living space or commercial
location, with a sleek, smooth top and no exposed hinges. This allows the piano
to easily blend into the room and even be used as a small table or desk. Its
perfect for young professionals, apartment dwellers, churches, restaurants, or
anyone looking for a space-saving, visually beautiful digital piano.
Although compact in design, the LP-350 offers a remarkably accurate acoustic
piano experience. It features Korgs finest piano touch and feel, and its RH3
graded hammer action is engineered to crisply perform repeated note strikes.
Three levels of touch sensitivity are available, allowing players to customize
the dynamic response to their own playing style. The hammer weighting gets
progressively lighter as a player moves up the keyboard, and the key cover is a
true slow-closing fallboard, just like on a concert grand. All three pedals from
a concert grand are included (damper, soft and sostenuto), and the damper and
soft pedal feature expressive and nuanced half-pedaling. When open, the key
cover transforms into an expansive sheet music stand.
The LP-350s piano sounds are rich and luxurious, with stereo samples from a
concert grand piano taken at multiple velocities to capture and reproduce the
entire dynamic range with clarity. Electric pianos, clavs and harpsichords,
church and jazz organs, mallet percussion, guitar, strings, choirs and lush pads
round out the sound offerings. Two sounds can be layered together for rich
blends, with Reverb and Chorus effects able to be added to any of the thirty
on-board sounds.
The tuning is adjustable to match other instruments, and users can transpose the
LP-350 into any key to play along with any musician, instrument or range. Two
historical non-equal temperaments add authentic voicing to Baroque and Classical
performances. A built-in metronome is also included for practice purposes.
A robust sound system is integrated into the units cabinet. Two large 10-cm
speakers are mounted in a bass-reflex chamber and powered by a pair of 11-Watt
amplifiers, to deliver a rich, refined sound. For private use, dual headphone
outputs allow parent and child, student and teacher, or friends to share the
instrument together. The LP-350 is also equipped with MIDI In/Out, allowing
access to a home computer or other MIDI device.
