EXPRESSIVE E OSMOSE 61 | 61 Key Synthesizer & Mpe Controller

OSMOSE 61

61 Key Synthesizer & MPE Controller

The Osmose 61 is a 24-voice polyphonic synthesizer/controller with an innovative way to control sound using gestures (press, bend, shake, and more). The instrument adds a full octave to the keyboard, perfect for two-handed playing, complex arrangements, and live performance. Its deep sound-design engine provides hundreds of ready-to-use, innovative presets. It also functions as a powerful controller for hardware and software synthesizers.

Expressive E has combined traditional craftmanship with modern technology when creating Osmose 61, a result of over 10 years of research and development, as well as feedback from world-class artists. With these new physical gestures, Osmose allows musicians to interact with sounds and produce music like never before. Each note can be articulated independently with unique expressive possibilities. The onboard sound engine was developed by Haken Audio and contains many types of digital synthesis, making it a workflow-oriented soundbox. There are a pair of 1/4" main outputs and two assignable pedal inputs, plus 5-pin DIN MIDI I/O and USB.

The EaganMatrix Sound Engine

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, and each of them has been manually customized with efficient macros that open new realms of sound exploration.

A Playful Playing Experience

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 is refreshing and fun.

Built to Empower External Synthesizers

On top of being a traditional MIDI keyboard controller, Osmose can 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.
