The Osmose 49 from Expressive E is an advanced synthesizer/MIDI controller that combines traditional keyboard playing with new innovative control possibilities.
Osmose's unique keyboard technology, called "Augmented Keyboard Action", gives musicians the opportunity to use the same playing techniques as on a regular keyboard, but with additional expressive possibilities for each key such as pitch and vibrato. Osmose uses the powerful EaganMatrix sound engine from Haken Audio, with powerful sound design capabilities such as virtual Analog, FM synthesis and physical modeling.
