Korg LP380 Modification
Posted: Sat Jan 22, 2022 1:50 am
Hey everyone,
So I've got a LP380 I'm using as the main input device for my composition setup. I'm in the process of improving this setup at the moment and as such I've got a couple questions:
- Is there a way to remove the lid of the piano without inadvertently breaking the soft-shut mechanism? I can't see a way to unscrew the wooden lid from the bracket without first completely removing it from the piano, and I'd like to be able to put the lid back on at some point.
- For a couple of different reasons I'm looking to run audio output from my computer to the Korg's speakers. Has anyone ever done this before, and if so, how? The keyboard controller unit has a few line-out jacks but no line-in from what I can see. From some documentation I found the speakers are driven by bridged class-D amps, which I might be able to rig up externally. Surely someone's tried this before?
Edit: Successfully detached the lid without breaking things. Just keen to find out about using the speaker now!
