A new way to play

What good is the greatest sound engine if its functions can't be controlled dynamically and intuitively while playing? Conventional keyboards with velocity and aftertouch offer too few options to achieve this, and their reliance on knobs, hand wheels, pedals, or breath controllers means too much attention is taken away from actually playing. This is exactly where the Expressive E Osmose comes in: Its innovative keyboard design unlocks new ways to control sound with gestures (press, bend, shake, and more) that bring a level of control usually associated with acoustic instruments. Each key has an extended range of motion from its usual resting point, which allows for additional per-note modulation whose range and target parameters can be modified with each patch and sound. Aftertouch sensitivity profiles and response curves can be customised in extraordinary depth, with each of the advanced EganMatrix onboard sounds tailored for use with the uniquely expressive controls of the Osmose, giving the term "expression" a whole new dimension for keyboard players. The keyboard comes in a bundle here with a tailor-made Expressive E carry case.

A synth with a 3D keyboard

The semi-weighted keys of the keybed on the Expressive E Osmose are equipped with additional sensors that convert horizontal modulations and the position of the finger on the surface of the key into control signals. This allows for playing techniques such as shake, strum, and pressure glide that are otherwise not possible on conventional keyboards and means that pitch bend and dynamic sound changes can be generated simultaneously with the notes played. Aftertouch, pressure, and pitch bend can even be used polyphonically! The 24-voice sound engine is a version of Haken Audio's EaganMatrix specially adapted for the Osmose. It can generate FM, virtual-analogue, and physical modelling sounds, with parameters freely assignable to the keyboard's various sensors. This allows performers to transport articulation and nuance with remarkable precision.

Elevated expression

The Expressive E Osmose is aimed at experienced keyboardists who have reached the limits of their existing instrument. Supported by its advanced sound engine, the 3D keyboard opens up completely new modes of expressing musical ideas, and its dynamically playable tones can be used equally well for electronic music, Pop, Jazz, Fusion, or Hip-Hop. Live on stage, keyboardists can play extremely expressive solos; in the studio, synthesizer parts can be worked on in unprecedented detail. The Osmose can also be used as a controller for other synthesizers and plug-ins, including the Soliste series from Expressive E, releasing their full musical potential.

Expressive E Osmose, Polyphonic Synthesizer

About Expressive E

Expressive E is an innovative French company specialising in the development of cutting-edge interfaces that allow musicians to express their creativity to the fullest. The brand first made its name with the Touché Controller, which allows users to control hardware and software-based synthesizers via hand gestures: The system is now accompanied by Expressive E's proprietary Lié software, as well as a whole palette of plugin and an ever-expanding selection of sound sets, some of which are also available free of charge. Expressive E brings together musicians, developers, and designers in a creative team with one common goal: To re-imagine musical expression for the digital age, enabling a more intuitive, dynamic, and emotional interaction between humans and machines. Unsurprisingly, users can expect many more products from Expressive E in the future that continue to open up new creative possibilities beyond those offered by conventional interfaces.

For keyboard solos that truly stand out

With the Expressive E Osmose, experienced keyboardists can play highly expressive parts that rival the complexity and articulations of a virtuoso guitarist or passionate sax player. With the innovative 3D keyboard and flexible sound engine, keyboard passages on the Osmose can hold their own alongside acoustic instruments in a live performance without the need for additional equipment. While the Osmose requires a certain learning curve in order to master its unique capabilities, the ability to apply separate pitch bends or glide to individual notes of a chord can elevate the interplay with other musicians to new heights. The Osmose can also be used as a MIDI controller in the studio, for example to play modern plugins that are designed for MPE and polyphonic aftertouch.

In the spotlight

EaganMatrix

The EaganMatrix, a modular digital synthesizer developed by Haken Audio, draws inspiration from classic analogue matrix synths like the ARP 2500 and EMS Synthi 100. Unlike those instruments, however, EaganMatrix replaces fixed pin connections with live formulas – allowing each connection in the matrix to carry a dynamic equation, letting a single gesture on the keybed reshape multiple parameters simultaneously rather than triggering one fixed response. The engine's module set includes summation oscillators, multimode filters, and time‑delay networks that also serve as the basis for waveguide physical modelling; biquad filter banks further extend its capabilities into granular and additive synthesis. Deeper editing is handled in the Haken Editor, where the full matrix – sources, destinations, and formulas alike – is exposed beyond the front panel's reach.
