They should get an award for the design. The elongated black keys look great!

[@timoheinrich8763]

They should even get multiple awards!

[@juliansimmons7700]

All elongated. Reduces the radial angle of depression to increase the resolution movement and slightly homogenate the white and black key rotational distance. Helps.

[@ExpressiveE]

Internally, we call these elongated parts "stems"! :) But we don't have an official naming yet, so feel free to share your creative ideas. We're listening!

[@rozzgrey801]

Synthesizer sound engines have evolved dramatically over the last 60 years, but this is the first time keyboard players have properly had the ability to really play the sounds in a truly responsive way like a violin or saxophone player can, to use your fingers to really intimately and intuitively get into the sound itself.

[@vineyardrecordingstudio]

Agree, as a bass player i am always missing ways to express myself with the fingers when i am playing synths. This could be nice 👍

[@keyhoarder]

yeah it was the shame that so many powerful synth engines sounded flat because lack of realtime hand control.

Imagine showing this to someone from even 50 years ago!? Its unbelievable now haha. Crazy. Amazing work!

[@tannerjmatheson]

Even 10 years ago

[@stephenroldan5107]

Have you seen electronic gear from the 50s

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Well over 40 years ago we had the Synclavier and the Fairlight Computer Music Instrument who could do such sounds too.

[@MartinMcNeil]

@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Sounds, yes. Level of _organic_ expression available from the keybed and synthesis engine combined - nope.

[@SuperChaoticus]

True Cuckoo did a demo for this keyboard that is the best I've seen so far. He really did a great job of demonstrating the expressive possibilities and showed a little bit about adjusting parameters to help with your playing style.

[@edmundfung]

Agreed! His demo showcased a lot the subtleties that I couldn't see/hear in this video.

[@TomislavRupic]

well you should probably see state azure demo also ;)

[@MilesBeatsLive]

His was the first to show me this thing ..now its in my recommended..

[@THINJIMI]

It was the 1st video I watched about this amazing keyboard!

[@elanfrenkel8058]

Each players personality is uniquely displayed. Great work guys.

[@robst247]

Mine arrived three days ago! Since unboxing Osmose, together we've been exploring a fascinating new aural universe. Every preset brings unexpected tones, timbres and novel delights. Expressive E haven't just hit the ball out of the park with this amazing musical box of tricks -- they've redefined the rules of the game and remodelled the park into a brilliant, multi-hued, multi-dimensional adventure playground! Eat your heart out Moog, Korg, Roland, Yamaha, Arturia, Nord, Sequential and Novation, etc. --- you've all been made redundant!

[@percyvolnar8010]

The CAN poster in the back is pure RESPECT! That band sounded like todays music back in the 70s - They were universes ahead of their peers. Their albums from back then sounded like they were recorded within the last few years.

[@duncanmorrisette5623]

I didn't even notice this but I looked it up and it's my favorite music I've heard in a while so thank you!

[@percyvolnar8010]

@@duncanmorrisette5623 You're welcome! Can is nasty AF. their ENTIRE discography is gold. You can't go wrong no matter what album you start with. Greets from Switzerland.

Go for a late drive or walk and put on Moonshake. You won’t be sorry

[@percyvolnar8010]

@@ryanholladay5665 Dude, Virtually EVERYTHING can has ever released wont disappoint. Even the unreleased tapes blows minds infinitely ( And those recordings are from CAN in the late 60's ). The 60's were not ready for that SOUND. But this is what happens when a bunch of geniuses form a band. Also, Holger Czukay's ( The bassist and main founder of CAN ) solo discography is on another level entirely.

[@ExpressiveE]

Maybe it was intentional 😇

[@andropolonsky]

I am ready! I was prepared for all my life! You are ready! Thank you Expressive guys!

[@OperculumAudio]

This Synth really brings the life into the sound!

Man this thing is on my wish list. Has been forever.

[@effyiew7318]

I'm finding it more entertaining how stereotypical everyone looks for the kind of stuff they're playing.

Sometimes you have to dress the part.

[@scouthanamura2380]

they're how you say, marketing to a wide range of demographics

[@charlyroussel]

Fascinating instrument, watched a couple of videos yesterday, had the most magical dream about having this instrument and playing it. cant wait to get one of these.

[@ExpressiveE]

Can't wait to see you create with it :)

[@SynthAddict]

best Osmose video so far I can't wait to get mine this month - was fun chatting with you guys at NAMM, and I finally got to play one 🙂 it's a glorious instrument

[@ExpressiveE]

Thanks a lot for stopping by and for your kind words :D

[@synthmania7275]

I can wait for mine to arrive 😊! Super stoked!

[@ExpressiveE]

Trust us, you'll have fun with it! Thanks for your patience

It’s really beautiful here 5:25, preset and player. 😊

This was truly the highlight

[@funkyberlin303]

Amazing instrument, great demo video as well!

[@chebtamer]

I love it ❤ Saving to get mine

[@OIP_1]

absolutely stunning

[@electrosonicnebula]

I was waiting for a standard keyboard that had some of those controls as found o Continuum and the like. Crazily affordable for what it offers and all the presets are really moody and beautiful.

[@lance134679]

As great as the synth engine is, it's the integration with polyphonic after touch (long-throw) and sideway per-key pitch bend that really makes it special. Finally, keyboardists can express themselves like guitar, woodwind, brass players, etc. I'm hoping we're only scratching the surface of the potential of this tech. Thanks.

[@georgereasonproductions]

superb music playing very well presented a joy to watch good stuff well done you:)

[@TonySway]

this thing sounds good!! Gonna have to get 1 now!

[@kisstherajn]

bro the realistic level on the world instruments is just WOW

[@AllINONE-qo1lu]

I just can wait man I wish this was out now

[@Deluca-Piano]

Ok. Well. I'm blown away. I want one. The wind instruments sound real.

[@ExpressiveE]

Thanks a lot! You can pre-order one with our affiliated dealers :) As for sounds, definitely check the hybrid sounds... they integrate the behaviour of traditional instruments and mesh it with modern textures. Mesmerising!

[@mempomusic8783]

Beautiful ❤

[@cemdasou]

[@REYNmusician]

Ah yes!!!! Go Go Go Go!!! ❤

[@vineyardrecordingstudio]

I really love the design! Great job 👏

[@KarlMiller-DjKarl]

The name says it all... ☮🔥🎹

[@FursAndMasksMusic]

Not previously having this level of expression in a keyed instrument is what has kept me away from learning. I've always played guitar, drums etc. This new breakthrough will make a lot of converts!

[@Ginlah]

Wow the world instruments sound amazing, worth getting just for those

[@ExpressiveE]

Thanks a lot! Hybrid sounds are pretty cool too, they blur the limit between acoustic and synth sounds even more :D

[@MKD371]

Joe Zawinul would have loved this. Two questions, how does it work with third party software sound sources, and how easy is it to do the whole midi cc setup with vibrato with keys. Granted of course, if the sound has that type of stuff built in to it. This would be great with Omnisphere, and any classical string library for example.

[@synthdiscovery]

Merci pour cette démo Eric, l'Osmose a vraiment l'air bien. Et merci aussi pour cet hommage au regretté Chick Coréa.

[@JunkSoap]

Already have a seaboard Rise 2, but considering getting an Osmose too... That sound engine sounds crazy...

[@morganfisherart]

Any plans to release a 5-or 6-octave version in the future? I always feel a little hemmed in on a 4-octave instrument.

[@colinhenneymusician19]

Wow. Just wow.

[@suckitlolly]

Been wanting it for years, but bought a bunch if orher stuff in the mean time.

[@MrMatthewKerr]

Jean-Philippe Rykiel . . . he really has that under control.

[@Johnnyjawbone]

I can only play basic notes with one hand. This makes me want to learn how to play properly. Amazing.

[@ExpressiveE]

Osmose's fun start as soon as you start brushing one key. No need to be Chopin to enjoy it :)

[@Bozo---]

amazing

[@lukeskywalker2656]

Well done... 🤌🏻 Gamecrasher ✨❤‍🔥

[@janbert4927]

my highlight is actually the double jamming at the end (12:15) 👌

[@iham1313]

2:42 (sqaluk) that reminds me of the original doom soundtrack

[@ExpressiveE]

Nice reference! We can't wait to see Osmose being used in future game soundtracks :D

[@skipondabeat]

Can you transpose in semtones like other synths to play in the different keys while playing the key???

[@skooore]

5:25 simply sublime

[@Eurystheas]

If you want to sell in the Middle Eastern countries give the synth to Spyros Kottis to show the people how we can use it with quarter tones because this instrument has a great potential. In Greek turkish Arabic music we use arrangers and on top a solo synth,with that expressiveness you could sell a lot !

[@Synapson]

👏

[@aphracadabra]

nice... sorry for this question: the soundbanks are from itself?

[@ExpressiveE]

Yes all sounds shown in the demo are internal. Osmose is a standalone synthesizer!

[@SOBHAN-qv7uf]

Does it connect to the phone(KORG ANDROID)?

[@ElectricAirStudios]

are all these sounds built in?

[@feline1973]

It's all very well, but I would also like to see these people try to play it when following Ralph McTell's 100 Easy Guitar Tunes

[@prewinder]

The interface seems lovely and the presets seems nice, but still I wonder. Is it possible to make your own user sounds? How do they load into the Osmose? Can you please share some info about that?

[@manuelsteinmair]

You can use the Haken editor to make your own patches with everything the Haken engine has to offer, which is a lot.

[@prewinder]

That is what I expected, but it would be nice to see show how that process works? Is it complicated? What tools needs to be installed? How is the sounds transferred and such things… Is it possible to replace all presets or some banks?

[@manuelsteinmair]

@@prewinder the Haken editor is a MAX patch, so it has to be loaded with MAX from cycling74 (it's free, as in usable as patch loader without paying) I have not wrapped my head around everything. As with much potential comes a high complexity and the matrix uses math a lot, but I start to get a hang of the basics. Searching for EagenMatrix on KZbin should result in a few videos showing the editor and hot to create a patch. Even it most likely will be from other hardware, the editor stays the same.

[@prewinder]

​@@manuelsteinmair Ok, I will wait for Expressive E to demonstrate it. That will also show more how supportive they are of their product.

[@Satelitko]

I'll never be able to use this instrument to even 10% of its capability, but I want one so unbelievably much...

[@ExpressiveE]

You'd be surprised at how much can be done with just playing around with one note. Of course, experienced keyboardists can take advantage of Osmose quite quickly but this instrument was designed to be used by everybody. Just "wiggling" around one note can generate SFXs, pads or string parts for days! :)

[@tokiboi6777]

5:26 What piece is that? I have to know, please.

[@andre-luiz-fp3oj4bh6b]

Oba hoje é primeiro sábado do ano com Padre Rossi graças a Deus 🥳🥳🥳

[@luisbarrera5740]

What kind of synth type of sounds? Granular, fm, additive, etc?

[@manuelsteinmair]

Basically everything except samples, the Haken EagenMatrix is really great

[@PacificBird]

This is a soundtrack in a box haha

[@ExpressiveE]

Yes! It's mesmerising so each preset do so much. By just activating the keyboard with one finger and creating creative gesture modulation, a lot can be done (risers, articulation changes,...). Ready to score!

[@lorenzobiondi5727]

The roli seabord was a big no for me, because it could technically be this expressive but felt too quirky to play... This looks like it could retain a lot of familiarity to the feeling of a keyboard while doing evrything I wanted. You know what, I might actually get one...

🙋🏾‍♂️

[@pbasswil]

Not only are they going to sell a $#¡†-ton of these, they're also going to spawn a bunch of Me-Too synths from big companies - like, designs that focus on the same (or competing) expressivity capabilities. The future is bright for keys!
