Play with complete expressive freedom
The Osmose 61 introduces Expressive E’s 3D keybed across a full five octaves, giving you expanded space for two-handed playing. Each key responds to three dimensions of movement, meaning you can control pitch, pressure and gesture on every note. This system captures natural performance details often lost on standard keyboards.
Subtle bends, aftertouch and finger glides all become part of your playing style. You can dig deeper for powerful swells or use a light touch for delicate phrasing. It reacts to how you play, not just what you play, making it feel less like operating a keyboard and more like performing on a living instrument.
Deep sound design with EaganMatrix
At the heart of the Osmose is the EaganMatrix sound engine from Haken Audio. It is a modular environment capable of everything from virtual analog tones to detailed physical modelling. You can experiment immediately with more than 500 onboard presets, each mapped for expressive control.
The built-in effects and macro section let you alter timbre, texture and modulation on the fly, while the Continuum Editor for Mac and PC opens the door to deeper sound creation. This makes it ideal if you enjoy designing unique sounds or want to push beyond the limits of traditional synthesis. The Osmose encourages experimentation, keeping inspiration close at hand.
Standalone power for studio and stage
You do not need a computer to make full use of the Osmose 61. The internal EaganMatrix engine, colour display and macro controls allow for instant sound tweaking and performance adjustments. With up to 2048 preset slots and a new favourites playlist system, managing sounds is simple and organised.
Dual pedal inputs, balanced line outputs and MIDI connectivity make it easy to drop straight into a studio session or live rig. You can move from creating in your workspace to performing on stage with nothing more than the instrument itself. It is ready to play wherever inspiration strikes.
Refined control and seamless integration
Firmware 2.0 brings meaningful upgrades that refine how the Osmose interacts with other instruments. The MPE arpeggiator and pressure glide expand performance options, while custom MIDI configuration presets help you switch setups quickly. It is also compatible with standard MIDI and MPE+ devices, letting you control external synths that lack polyphonic aftertouch.
Automatic preset recall ensures you start where you left off, saving valuable setup time. Combined with its expressive keybed and rich sound engine, these updates make the Osmose 61 one of the most versatile and responsive synthesisers available for modern players who value feel, sound and control.
