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.

The PIANO2 sound buon lights up, and the Local On/
O seing (on) appears in the display.
MIDI
What is MIDI?
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.
