ENHANCE YOUR
PLAYING EXPERIENCE...

Discover an instrument you can play like never before, where every note can be uniquely swelled, articulated, and curved. Where every sound will offer you brand new playing experiences. Let's discover your new abilities:

The Initial Pressure on every key is capable of capturing a very wide palette of subtle taps.

The Initial Pressure on every key is capable of capturing continuous gestures with absolute precision.

Push a single key to 'strum' a whole range of notes.

Tapping a note, or swelling a note, can each be interpreted as different actions to provide completely different results.

Osmose's pitch is mechanical, and that changes everything. Play Vibratos and Bendings like never before.

Ultra-Dynamic Polyphonic Aftertouch: adds an extra level of sound control, with an unparalleled sensitivity and playability.

Vibrate a note to add articulations to your sound.

EAGANMATRIX EMBEDDED

THE MOST ADVANCED SOUND ENGINE FOR EXPRESSIVITY

Osmose embeds Haken Audio’s unique EaganMatrix sound engine: From virtual analog to FM synthesis, physical modeling and everything in between, never has a synth engine provided so much potential for expressive control. Explore an infinite landscape of incredible acoustic and electronic sounds.

YOUR EXISTING SYNTHS JUST GOT BETTER

Unlock the true potential of your favourite hardware and software synthesizers when you combine them with the amazing expressive capacity of Osmose. Even if your synthesizer does not respond to polyphonic aftertouch or MPE, Osmose can still control it:

PIANO MODE

Osmose can emulate a classic keyboard controller, sending simple velocity messages.

POLY AFTERTOUCH AND GLOBAL PITCH BEND

Control your synth with Osmose’s Initial Pressure system and Poly Aftertouch. Every key can also control the global pitch bend of your synth.

MULTICHANNEL MPE, MPE+

Osmose is also compatible with the major MIDI protocol for polyphonic expression, and MPE+, for the most advanced and accurate response.

STANDALONE CONFIGURATION

Set up your MIDI configuration directly from the in-built screen, without the need to connect to a computer.
