ENHANCE YOUR
PLAYING EXPERIENCE...

Discover the instrument you can play like never before , where every note can swell, articulate and shape uniquely. Where every sound offers you a new kind of playing experience.

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 incorporates Haken Audio's unique EaganMatrix sound engine: From virtually analog to FM synthesis, physical modeling and everything in between, never before has a synth engine offered so much potential for expressive sound control. Discover an infinite world of incredible acoustic and electronic sounds.

YOUR EXISTING SYNTHS JUST GOT BETTER

Discover the true potential of your favorite hardware and software synthesizers when you combine them with the amazing expressive power of Osmose. Even if your synthesizer doesn't 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 synthesizer with the Osmose Initial Pressure System and Poly Aftertouch. Each key can also control the global pitch bending function of your synthesizer.

MULTICHANNEL MPE, MPE+

Osmose is also compatible with the main MIDI protocol polyphonic Expression and MPE+, for an advanced and precise response.

STANDALONE CONFIGURATION

You can configure MIDI directly on the device using the built-in screen, without having to connect your device to a computer.

Osmose is one of the most expressive synthesizers ever developed. It is a completely independent polyphonic synthesizer with the patented A.K.A. ©-mechanism in which the keybed responds polyphonically to pressure, aftertouch and note bend. It features a deep modular sound design engine that includes hundreds of incredible sounds ready to go, and can also be used as an advanced controller for both hardware and software synthesizers.
