Osmose

Osmose represents a paradigm shift in how musicians interact with sound, bridging the gap between acoustic nuance and electronic power. Developed over years of intensive research, it is both a standalone 49-key polyphonic synthesizer and a profoundly advanced controller for software and hardware instruments. The core of Osmose's magic lies in its patented A.K.A. (Augmented Keyboard Action) keybed, which gives players three-dimensional control over every single note. This technology allows for the intuitive and independent modulation of velocity, polyphonic aftertouch, and per-note pitch bend simply through the player's natural gestures. You can swell notes with pressure, add vibrato by wiggling a key from side to side, or bend individual notes within a chord, all without ever touching a separate controller. This level of granular, acoustic-like control opens up a universe of expressive possibilities previously unattainable with a traditional keyboard.

At its heart, Osmose is powered by the formidable EaganMatrix sound engine, a deep and powerful digital modular synthesizer developed by Haken Audio. This is the same engine found in the acclaimed Continuum Fingerboard, renowned for its ability to create incredibly detailed and responsive sounds through physical modeling, subtractive, additive, and FM synthesis. Osmose comes loaded with over 500 meticulously crafted presets, each designed to take full advantage of the A.K.A. keybed. These sounds range from breathtakingly realistic acoustic instruments that respond to the slightest touch, to evolving synth textures and dynamic electronic tones that feel alive under your fingertips. The large color display, ergonomic interface, and customizable sensitivity settings allow you to effortlessly browse sounds, tweak parameters, and tailor the instrument's response to your personal playing style, making it a seamless extension of your musical intent.

Beyond its capabilities as a standalone instrument, Osmose is a formidable MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) and MPE+ controller, designed to unlock the full potential of your existing studio setup. When connected to a computer via USB, it can control MPE-compatible software synthesizers and virtual instruments, bringing its unique three-dimensional touch to your favorite plugins in any major DAW. This transforms static, sample-based libraries and complex software synths into dynamic, living instruments. The expressive control is not limited to MPE; Osmose can also function as a traditional MIDI controller with extensive customization options for mapping its unique gestures. With standard MIDI I/O and two continuous pedal inputs, it integrates perfectly with external hardware synthesizers and modular rigs. Whether used as a self-contained performance instrument or the expressive brain of your studio, Osmose is a beautifully crafted tool that invites exploration and redefines what it means to be truly connected to your sound.
