Expressive E Osmose is the new standard for musical expressivity. Use intuitive gestures to control this standalone synthesizer and upgrade your playing and production skills. Press, bend, shake, strum and more to interact with keyboards and electronic sounds in a new, organic way. Whether you're a veteran keyboardist, a workflow-oriented producer, a daring sound designer or anything in between, Osmose will take your musical journey to uncharted places.
Osmose's unique MPE Arpeggiator and Pressure Glide are now available for extra expression when you're controlling external instruments; both work well with any MPE-compatible hardware and software. Osmose also now lets you save custom MIDI configuration presets.
Osmose has expanded its preset storage capacity, now letting you have up to 2,048 presets on board. There are also new favorites and playlist functions along with revamped navigation in the presets menu to accommodate both. Improved MIDI Program Change and MIDI Bank Select implementations are compatible with these new features, while a new sound bank management system will allow uploading preset banks from OsmoseUpdater software in the future. Upon startup Osmose will now automatically load the last used preset.
Combining traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, Expressive E Osmose is the result of more than 10 years of research and development as well as feedback from world-class artists. Osmose introduces new physical gestures, allowing musicians to interact with sounds and produce music. It does this while not only respecting, but also enhancing the player's existing keyboard skills. Every note can be articulated independently with unique expressive possibilities.
Offering new levels of expressivity required a seamless interaction between Osmose's unique keybed mechanism and its sound engine. Logically, Expressive E has partnered with Haken Audio to integrate its powerful EaganMatrix sound engine with Osmose. Its modular sound engine combines many types of digital synthesis including physical modeling, FM and more, making it a workflow-oriented soundbox. Osmose ships with more than 500 presets, each of which has been manually customized with efficient macros that open new realms of sound exploration.
All the internal sounds in Osmose's large library are tailor-made to take advantage of its unique keybed. Osmose's unique sound identity is a combination of highly detailed acoustic, electronic and hybrid sounds that will easily add nuances and variations to any music genre. These sounds were carefully crafted to react to a player's slightest movements and make use of the keys' three-dimensional sensitivity in a unique way to create effects such as strummed notes, vibrato, legato, layered dynamics and much more. As a result, discovering and controlling Osmose's sounds is refreshing and fun!
On top of being a traditional MIDI keyboard controller, Osmose can also interface with computers and other instruments as an MPE MIDI controller. It also offers polyphonic aftertouch support, a multichannel MIDI mode and global pitch bend. All of these changes can be made directly from the Osmose interface with no need for a computer.
Osmose's custom, in-house operating system facilitates sound creation: no endless menu browsing, no constant 'shift button' operating. Expressive E boiled down the feature set to its quintessence and added to the mix a large color screen, 500 macro-loaded presets and efficient categorization. The sound browser offers various filters and sub-filters based on both sound types and colors so you can find the sounds in your head quickly.
With Osmose it's easy to customize the timbres, textures and effects of all presets. Give macro controls a simple twist to tweak multiple pre-mapped parameters at once. Each of the 500 included presets is equipped with macro controls to generate deep, satisfying changes without effort.
Developed by Expressive E, Augmented Keyboard Action (A.K.A.) is the technology inside every key of Osmose; it offers a seamless connection between every gesture played by the musician and the resulting sound. This means that despite being an electronic synthesizer, Osmose feels more like an acoustic instrument to play. Press, bend, shake, strum and more to create sounds that are truly yours.
Whether you want full expressivity or a classic piano feel, Osmose adapts to you by offering custom sensitivity curves for each gesture.
Osmose's MPE arpeggiator has the classic parameters you would expect, but also gesture-triggered modulation on every note. Osmose also features 'press glide,' which allows you to dynamically control glide time between notes.
Proudly designed in France, Osmose boasts a stealth black casing and signature key stems that will both please crowds and stand the test of time. Made out of rugged materials and assembled in a solid glueless design, Osmose is a road- and studio-ready instrument.
