osmose 2.0 firmware update - 7 things to know

[@bitegoatie]

The roadmap for the firmware sounds great. The most important feature request is the continuation of development itself. It is always hard to watch when a company puts in a huge effort, makes a very good (or, in some cases, outstanding) product, makes some finishing updates and corrections for a short while, then moves on - abandoning a still-vibrant machine with potential to be better. They get discouraged by a lull after the initial flurry of sales. If the hardware remains viable (as this hardware will - for even longer if you have implemented the DSP and memory chips the right way), and the developers put in some effort over time to make this what it can be, it can sell for a long time and nourish a loyal community of users. I know - business schools these days teach screwing customers and abandoning principle and humanity, but such businesses tank all he time and leave their leaders, even when they get rich, unfulfilled, unhappy, and paranoid, knowing lots of people have grievances with these weasels. We can choose better paths, however. Keep doing what you can to be your best selves. Congratulations on your success so far.

[@ExpressiveE]

Hey, don't reveal our plans! More seriously, we're exactly aiming for what you're describing. We'll keep working hard hand-in-hand with you to change the way musicians interact with sounds :) Thanks for supporting us.

​@@ExpressiveEAny chance of a smaller / 37 Keys version soon? 🙏

[@michaelwouters8151]

As a live musician, I would LOVE for the Osmose to be able to have some very standard sounds on board (that could be tweaked) like a really decent Rhodes sound and acoustic piano as well as some really authentic (sample based) strings and horns. With that on board the Osmose could be my stand-alone synth and not just a perky extra synth on stage for solos or pads. The keys are absolutely amazing to play, with great depth and liveliness, but to have some really basic sounds like that, would absolutely blow up the Osmose!

[@nhaezer5121]

Boy…exactly my thoughts! It’s so tempting cos of the expressiveness but the sounds aren’t just that essential either for live play or production. The expressiveness of Osmose would have shined bright on acoustic sounding brass, strings, guitar and orchestral patches.

My thoughts too. In fact it would make it the ultimate small weighted keyboard.

[@ExpressiveE]

Let's keep pushing!

[@Ebotronix]

With some presets you cannot turn off the delay . exp: cold lead1, lonely square 1+2,classicanna lead 1, persens supernova1, organo where you there, cs 80 ladder 1+2, please ad a Global setting for the internal FXon off and a midi clock setting for delay! I found 4 presets out of tune: 1. dirt acid C = E 2. neon key C= C#. 3.Misty Square C= C#. 4. wow soul chord C= Bb

[@ExpressiveE]

Hi Ebotronix, thank you for your message. Sometimes, an effect is part of the matrix programming itself, without using the global fx (called "recirculator" in the Haken Editor). Sometimes the effect is then editable in the macros tab of synth menu. The out-of-tune presets will be corrected when we release the new DSP version mentioned in the last chapter of the video.

[@Ebotronix]

@@ExpressiveE is it possible to remove the Delays from the matrix programming itself? another question: where are my user patches? all gone with the new firmware .I notist that the Osmose downloaded them at the start of the update and is it possible to add them in a playlist? I spend a lot of time to customise my user patches.

[@ExpressiveE]

@@Ebotronix you should find them in navigation tab when filtering for bank "user" with the left-most value encoder below the screen. If they are not there, get in touch with our support here so we can help you try to reimport the automatic backup of those: expressivee.happyfox.com/new Concerning the delay: of course you can program the patches in a way that the baked-in delay is removed, but it will require knowledge of the matrix, which is not easy to program.

[@Ebotronix]

@@ExpressiveE Since you cannot change the time, feedback or mix of the internal delay, these presets are not particularly suitable. With other synthesizers there is often a global setting option for delays and reverb and the delay times can also be adjusted with a midi clock.

[@andyjones760]

Exciting times ahead! I'd like to request a feature, whereby lateral note bends in either direction affect the pitch positively only. This should enable more realistic vibrato, since almost invariably players tend to bend the note down as well as up when modulating the keys laterally, which is unfaithful to applying vibrato to a stringed instrument. This has to be worth a try in my opinion!

[@ExpressiveE]

Very interesting idea, if you have examples or videos to share don't hesitate... we'll check them out :)

[@andyjones760]

@@ExpressiveE It would also mean a full cycle of lateral key modulation would produce vibrato at double the frequency (picture a rectified sine wave), which means you'd have to move the keys side to side at half the speed to achieve the same effect. So in theory it would be more controllable.

Currently it makes it play things polyphonically, which is quite wrong :) Also hoping for better support for the most widely available continuous pedals with 10 kOhm linear potentiometer, which currently don't work very well with Osmose, or at least my Kurzweil CC-1 pedals don't (improve the calibration procedure, I suppose?).

Great idea, but it's not a real-time process: If you were to import your own samples for an analysis, whatever those are, you need a computer application that does the "translation" from sample to analysis and only then can the analysis be transferred to the EaganMatrix in Osmose.

[@ExpressiveE]

Very interesting! How would you use it practically/musically? The more details we get, the better! So the product team can be informed!

[@andreas-wismann]

@@ExpressiveE Thanks a lot for getting back to me! Some keyboards have this options in their settings, and it would be even cooler to have it in the Osmose, too. As a typical example with my Kurzweil FORTE, when I play solos with a distorted lead guitar sound, I set the pitch bend "down" sense to -24 (2 octaves) or even more, and the pitch bend "up" just to +3 (a minor third). Now I can get crazy with the asymmetrical pitch bend behaviour, like a lot of guitar players actually do (Jimi Hendrix or Eddie van Halen who probably invented this, and successors :-) Just found a KZbin Short from a guy who showcases exactly this synth playing technique: kzbin.info8RZIhxFfpSI

[@andreas-wismann]

@@ExpressiveE Addendum: Please don't get me wrong: I love and enjoy the Osmose so much, it's an absolute milestone, just like the DX7 back in the day. Still there are some things that (being a software developer) I guess might be relatively straightforward to implement, while they make so much room for even more stunning ways of playing, using the hardware to its full potential. Talking about lateral pitch bend: Currently it's obvious that when you release a key, the note's pitch returns to its zero position, which you can hear during the release phase. While this may sound okay, it's maybe not what everybody wants all the time (especially when you play duophonic ARP Odyssey type of solos). I've used my thumb from below pressing into the key's edge, in order to keep the key sideways while I release it. My playing finger usually has not enough grip on the surface to do that. That's why I propose a setting, let's call it "Pitch Reset Lock" where the bending ever increases according to your finger's lateral movement, but it does not decrease (or even return to zero) until you completely let off the key and no sustain/sostenuto is engaged. This way, I could also play a chord, bend s single note, and that pitch would be locked automatically while I lift my fingers into the Pressure area again, then down, up, down..., repeatedly. Without the pitch bend coming back meanwhile. I hope my explanation makes sense. This would also help Jacob Collier playing his quarter note chords :-)

[@nashatkins8883]

Great work! For me my biggest request would be on the sound front and it seems as though you are working on it. The quality and breadth of onboard effects is definitely something I find lacking on the osmose. Some of the parameters are also unusual and don't work in the ways I would classically expect. Particularly some high quality reverb, delay, and chorus models would be the main things I want. I would personally love to see modeling of world instruments in a more real way, some of the current presents are more fantastical or unusual and not always usable. Additionally some bread and butter analog synth modeled sounds would go a long way to making the osmose a standalone power house. I find a lot of the current sounds are very digital, cold, and hard sounding. Thanks for listening to your customers!

Absolutely love playing the osmose! Excited for new updates firmware and Eagan matrix updates to come. Something that could be improved in my mind is the menu layout for the “playing” tab. When I switch from the synth parameters to the arp settings, it always resets to the first page, making it annoying to change arp settings on the fly. Could this be fixed to show the most recent screen when flipping between tabs?!

[@synthplayer1563]

It is worth mentioning that the package includes a slightly new Haken editor which should be used with Osmose 2 and that it no longer has preset management. Only the currently active preset is displayed and you have to save and name a new modified preset on the Osmose. This cost me a bit of time with unnecessary troubleshooting.

does the osmose have something like a global transpose setting (in semitones?) i wasn't able to find any info on that

[@TORCHI909]

i have not been able to answer this either, would really like to know

[@eaganmatrixprogramming]

Not on Osmose, but for the 10.09 Haken firmware that Osmose 2.0.15 still runs you can transpose using CC44 set to a value where 60 = middle C sent on channel 1. You can also do this in the editor as well and save that preset on the Osmose if you want it to transpose on loading the preset.

[@alexmcinnes8182]

Agreed! Please please please add global semitone transposition! It’s the first thing I tried to check when I saw version 2 is out

Bringing the playlist selector back to Haken Editor would be even better ❤ Resynthesis will be wild! Super excited for the future! Keep up the awesome work.

[@ExpressiveE]

Hi LuxLucid, thank you for your friendly comment. With firmware 2.0, any browsing or saving/renaming of presets has to happen through the Osmose GUI.

Still hoping there will be Split and Layering in standalone. That is what I'm expecting the most for the past 4 years.

Bravo EE!

There seems to be a problem with saving pressure glide with presets. Sometimes it works and sometimes when you retrieve a preset pressure glide has been changed. At one point I changed the range from semitone to whole tone, but after saving it reverted back to semitone: this changed in the Haken editor as well. It seems to depend on the previously chosen preset. The same preset (one I made) sometimes has a semitone and sometime 2nd pressure glide interval. I am not sure, but it seems to depend on which preset was chosen previously, but I don't see how this can make sense. Is this a bug or is there a way to get around this?

press glide is amazing ahhh

Will the Eagen Matrix become the new Synclavier II ?

Only time will tell!

At 6:40 I can see that bending should also be possible up to 1/48 semitone. With my Osmose I can only bend up to 1/4 of a semitone. Do i miss anything?

[@ExpressiveE]

When the pitch bend range is 1/48, then this refers to a fraction of the maximum pitch bend range that is set in the target device that actually produces the sound. In the video, you are seeing the sensitivity menu of External MIDI Mode, not the one of Sound Engine Mode. More info is available here: expressivee.happyfox.com/kb/article/257-sensitivity-menu/

awesome! is the article regarding program changes up to date? as of right now I cant get them to work

[@ExpressiveE]

Hi René, please check the 2.0 manual and the release notes that come with the firmware download for the updated procedure. We will update our online knowledge base to contain 2.0 information very soon, sorry for the confusion.

Something besides the Eagan matrix, or just a controller

[@MauritsBoegman]

Awesome!!!

Osmose seems to be the king of MPE and expressive playing, but DAW integration, NI Komplete or Arturia Lab are not well integrated. So, I feel I still need to have another midi controller to be productive….like the NI Kontrol Series. I keep waiting for 1 vendor to offer MPE, Midi 2.0, polyphonic aftertouch, DAW integration, Komplete and Arturia integration…..and waiting.
