Please please release AR’s jam on the Osmose! The way he handles this instrument is second to none!

[@loh-gain701]

❤

[@kumarsajal8400]

It is not the instrument. It is always the player who creates the magic.

[@vanelluspierrot]

ARR is easily one of the greatest living composers in the world. His love and mastery over modern instruments such as the continuum fingerboard, harpejji and now the osmose is really astounding

[@jink1231]

Mastery....hardly. You have to listen to lydian to know what Mastery is.

[@milanshiv]

No doubt

[@sumanthnagabushan1063]

No dispute that @Shantanu Joshi, we are privileged to live in his era Lydian is a prodigy, from AR’s conservatory and has his blessing. He has all the talent to keep 🇮🇳 flying. This is not some idiotic one-upmanship, a disease that we have unfortunately too rooted in. It’s an insult to ARR by bringing him into a numbers game, someone only bothered with his craft and ‘above’ it all

[@nithinrahmaniac8225]

Happy Birthday To The Legend.

Even today post 3 decades of his flamboyant career , A R R has been constantly hogging the limelight in not only retaining his creative standards & his benchmark but also in bringing us to the light of the latest technology in vogue.Guess this new found instrument is gonna create waves among musicians !

[@TheJackJulian]

Unreal..!! And what a humble man. Truely inspirational expression!

[@davidrahmaniac7795]

Happy Birthday SIR + ARR rocks 🔥❤

[@rejistry]

Getting ARR to do a product demo?? That's ridiculously commendable 🏆

[@osculafur]

Fantastic seeing a demonstration video of the Osmose being incorporated into a more traditional music setting! More of these from other parts of the world please. 🙏

[@simonyricools]

Yes, I'd love to hear this in the hands of musicians from Bulgaria or Syria, for example.

[@09mee017]

It's one and only ARR magic in every thing

[@shripadjoshi6528]

The Legendary Composer A R Rahman will be benefiitted tremendously with these gadgets.

[@paulussantosociwidjaja4781]

Superb expression! Thank you for having A.R.Rahman doing the demo here. Love it.

[@ExpressiveE]

He truly understood Osmose deeply! Can't wait to see A.R. Rahman play it further :)

[@rahulsondhiyaa]

i just love this keyboard 😍😍

[@DaveBessell]

The Osmose seems particularly suited to this style of music.

[@noufalbinzainudheen5633]

Wow how fantastic ARR reading that instrument.

[@arunarunarun51]

Rahaman's playing on that instrument is phenomenal. Its all about talent.

[@joostvanbunnik7646]

a master on a awesome instrument

[@milanshiv]

A.R.R Sachin Tendulkar of Music...both invents new things

[@frydac]

First video of this instrument I've seen where the vibrato was played virtually flawlessly as far as I could tell, impressive. Seems more playable than the seaboard, though it doesn't have the 2D slide capability. Not that I will ever play this instrument, but looking forward to see what talented ppl like this will be able to do with it.

[@kishandwary9378]

I really like his indian folk classicals, specially the raanjhanaa one

[@iappan7274]

[@prempraneetarigela]

GOD of music ❤️ Thanks for this video

[@alamnash]

How is this so skillfully done?! What an incredible video!!

[@_fig.8]

breathtaking! so pleased to have a preorder in place. this is transformative

[@rufuscliffvictor1958]

Such a good realism you give to the instrument you play.

[@anantwashere]

You, Sir, are truly, a living legend.

[@ChristopherOrth]

Love how you are using this instrument, and the music you make!

[@Revelator2025]

First time I heard and watched this synth demonstrated I knew that it’s expressive nature was a game changer in expressive nuance. May it be used to create new beautiful music around the world.

[@bricelory9534]

I truly think the Osmose will be an important step to bringing the sensibilities that underly the traditional musics of across the world to modern sensibilities of electronic instruments - it is a dialog across time.

[@ExpressiveE]

What a beautiful way to phrase it! Can we take inspiration from your sentence for future content/posts?

[@composerarun]

Very much practical keyboard. Would be more useful for synth vsti and kontakt engine strings and brass sections libraries to amplify expressions. Beside composer and performer, I think the sound sample designer would be benefit tremendously via this keyboard for their vsti. - Music Composer S.A.Arun (Audio Engineer)

[@folkstudiobd247]

Sounds like dream Worlds!!

[@peterbondy]

This is truly a musical instrument in the deepest sense of tat word. We all know all synths are in their own way but this is a game changer. I’m itching to own one. Saving now!!

[@cooltrades7469]

No it isn't . Rollie tryed thhis in a better way and went bankrupt . It's a hype for unexperienced . Marketing with names , etc . Bull shit. Nothing special about Osmose . In April 2020, Roli sold the JUCE product to PACE Anti-Piracy firm. The company lost money in 2019 and 2020, and in late 2021 declared bankruptcy. A new company, named Luminary, formed by Lamb with $6M in startup funds from investors, will receive ownership of many of Roli’s products.. Read this and go search for the seabord. Same here . Just marketing hype. Soundwise...nothing spcial. You can do this with softsynths. Common sounds mostly. Just new look and payed marketing for naives.:))

[@peterbondy]

@@cooltrades7469 yeah, I know the Roli product of course. Way too expensive for what was only a controller and a very difficult one to play at that. Finding sounds that worked well with it was problematic. The Roli, in the right hands though was a powerful and very musical controller (as that wonderful old performance of Purple Rain demonstrated) but was always destined to fail given the price point and limiting playability for many. The difference I see here is that the sounds are tailored to work with the keyboard and at a price that is actually within reach of most professional players. Not sure why you see this as purely marketing hype? What we have is what is shown, no more or less. A very expressive keyboard with accompanying sounds. Yes, I totally understand that I need to actually sit down with it and play it before passing final judgment. How does it actually sound (the most important criteria), what are the presets like across the entire spectrum seeing it is largely a preset driven synth. But there are many videos already showing a variety of musicians and styles playing some beautifully expressive parts in ways that a traditional synth are simply not capable of producing.

[@philipford6183]

The flutes (bansuri? silver flute?) sounds great. This makes a compelling case for the Osmose. What's the sample library A.R. Rahman is using here?

[@jongnaiad]

Good question.. That bansuri synthesis is definitely very convincing. Hope it's part of the factory library.

[@ExpressiveE]

It's the "bansuri" preset, and no samples are used here. Everything is based on physical modelling!

Hello sir, This is BLELECK and I am releasing my First album on 20th of January. So please can you watch it and give your suggestion.

[@rahuldhiman434]

Which vst is Mr.Rehman using ?

[@ExpressiveE]

All sounds you hear him playing are coming from the inbuilt sound engine, the EaganMatrix.

[@dolorblind]

it's so expensiveeee 😿, 1 lakh 57 thousand and 970 rupees. Time to save up I guess. I hope they release a smaller more affordable model with same technology 🤞

[@SimonSelvaraj]

I would love to receive updstes

[@ExpressiveE]

Hi there, updates about what? :) We'd love to know.

[@baward]

Does this count as a chromatic keyboard, or is it something else?

[@ExpressiveE]

What do you exactly mean? Are you referring to microtonal/multi-temperament settings?

[@baward]

@@ExpressiveE ah, I didn’t know that one could do microtonal tunings, I was referring to the standard 12-tone scale (Do-Re-Mi etc.)

[@miztag3554]

I wonder how it compares to roli.

[@rahuldhiman434]

Sorry expressive e but in India there are only few producers who can afford your product

[@Xaurav63]

very very bad sound

[@gna9061]

Love how Ar Rahman did this wow.!! but this is 1800$ dollars. Like come on guys!

[@kingcoherent]

It’s surprisingly cheap, right? Given the mechanical complexity and amount of r&d required. Similar sized and priced digital synths have far less functionality.

[@gna9061]

@@kingcoherent it's surprisingly cheap for you, but it's really hard for musicians in india to get this. I'm not talking about ar level or privilege groups in india lol, but your everyday jingle composer. I hope they have some sort of monthly payment plan which will be super cool.

[@kingcoherent]

@@gna9061 dont get me wrong, this is not pocket change.. it’s a significant investment. However, compared to similarly featured products it is a lot less expensive than expected. The Roli Seaboard Grand was more than 25% more expensive when it launched, and it was only a controller (it’s no longer available). A Linnstrument is smaller, and also only a controller. A Haken Continuum is a lot more expensive (at least double) and the only other way to get the sound engine in hardware form. For keyboard players this could be as revolutionary as the step from harpsichord to piano forte. The relatively low price point will have a lot to do with its success. My Waldorf Quantum set me back a lot more, a Prophet will set you back a lot more (I could go on), But arguably this is the more interesting instrument to play. I wish them all the luck in the world with this. And who knows, may be in a few years there’ll be a controller only version for half the price.until the, if you want expressive controllers on the (relative) cheap try the stuff that roli makes still (or eBay their older models). You won’t get a full keyboard, or the same level of control. But it’ll be a step along the way.

[@nateshlodha4418]

You can reach out to Hands Sonances (the Indian distributor) to know about Osmose and it's pricing..
