Expressive E Osmose

The Expressive E Osmose is a 49-key polyphonic synthesizer with AKA augmented keyboard action technology providing three-dimensional control in every key for an unparalleled expression level on a familiar keyboard design.

The Expressive E Osmose responds to pressure, aftertouch and note bend polyphonically, creating swells, articulations and curves for higher expressiveness through a powerful modular sound design engine that includes hundreds of sounds.

The Osmose augmented keyboard action technology brings the familiar concept of a traditional keyboard with three-dimensional responsiveness that brings a level of controls usually associated with acoustic instruments. The built-in high-resolution sensors ensure an accurate response, respond to every nuance of hand movements, and bring a whole new level of detail.

At the heart of the Osmose synth engine is the EaganMatrix sound engine developed by Haken Audio. EaganMatrix is a powerful modular sound design environment and covers several sound generation technologies, including Virtual Analogue, physical modelling, FM synthesis and more, for almost infinite sound creation possibilities. For further changes, an editor is provided to help develop your unique sounds.

Sound editing features provide a way to create radical sound designs on the fly. A Macro control section lets you alter timbre texture and effects using pre-mapped settings to create dramatic sonic alterations seamlessly.

The Osmose keyboard integrates with any setup thanks to its wealth of connections, allowing you to control your hardware or software synthesizers as it is compatible with MIDI and MPE+. If required, the Osmose can be used as a classic keyboard controller which sends velocity messages to selected equipment.
