Expressive E Osmose - 49 Key Polyphonic Synthesizer

After 10 years of painstaking research, Expressive E has emerged with a voltaic blend of historic craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology to revolutionize your approach to keyboard synthesis. Osmose is a 49-key synthesizer whose highly versatile sound engine is fueled by the powerful EaganMatrix, a digital modular engine developed by Haken Audio. Over 500 diverse presets, dazzling onboard FX, and deep editing features barely scratch the surface. What makes the Osmose such a hallmark of synthesizer engineering, however, is its uncompromising approach to total polyphonic aftertouch, enabling three-dimensional control of each key across multiple axes. You can even apply these via comprehensive MIDI controls for MPE use with your DAW or device of choice, and Sweetwater’s synthesists couldn’t be more excited to take these compositional possibilities to their outer limits.

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.

Known for their early innovations in multichannel expression with their Continuum Fingerboard, Haken Audio were the perfect partners to bring three-dimensional aftertouch to a new generation of synthesizers. Expressive E’s partnership integrates Haken Audio’s innovative EaganMatrix into the unique workflow of Osmose’s flexible keybed, loaded with more than 500 presets out of the box with plenty of room to expand. The EaganMatrix digital modular engine perfectly manages the polyphonic aftertouch with each preset crafted to make full use of its unique expression curves and modulation parameters, covering over numerous categories of FM synthesis, physical modeling, and more.
