Each time the LP-380 is turned on, the sound in bank

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. (refer to “Function mode” on page 11.)
