be one
with sound

There's never been an instrument quite like Osmose. A keyboard you already know how to play, but with new expression hidden in every single key. Meet the keyboard synthesizer where every sound offers you brand-new playing experiences. Let's explore your new abilities:

enhance your
playing experience...

Discover an instrument you can play like never before, where every note can be uniquely swelled, articulated, and curved.
Where every sound will offer you brand new playing experiences. Let's discover your new abilities:
The Initial Pressure on every key is capable of capturing a very wide palette of subtle taps.
The Initial Pressure on every key is capable of capturing continuous gestures with absolute precision.
Tapping a note, or swelling a note, can each be interpreted as different actions to provide completely different results.
Osmose's pitch is mechanical, and that changes everything. Play Vibratos and Bendings like never before.
Ultra-Dynamic Polyphonic Aftertouch: adds an extra level of sound control, with an unparalleled sensitivity and playability.
Vibrate a note to add articulations to your sound.
Push a single key to 'strum' a whole range of notes.

your existing synths just got better

Unlock the true potential of your favourite hardware and software synthesizers when you combine them with the amazing expressive capacity of Osmose. Even if your synthesizer does not respond to polyphonic aftertouch or MPE, Osmose can still control it:

poly Aftertouch and
Global Pitch Bend
Control your synth with Osmose’s Initial Pressure system and Poly Aftertouch. Every key can also control the global pitch bend of your synth.

Osmose is also compatible with the major MIDI protocol for polyphonic expression, and MPE+, for the most advanced and accurate response.
Standalone configuration
Set up your MIDI configuration directly from the in-built screen, without the need to connect to a computer.

carefully designed

The magic of a performance is found in the tiniest of details. Our goal was to create an instrument with style, manufactured with utmost care. We paid great attention to the manufacturing and finishing quality of the materials, their colors and different textures.

respecting your playing skills

We kept the keyboard form factor, but added revolutionary new capabilities. Osmose was crafted to enhance everything about the playing experience, but without compromising your core skills with a keyboard. All with one thing in mind: Go far beyond what a keyboard was capable of before.

adjustable sensitivity

Every musician develops a unique playing style. Sometimes the instrument needs to adapt, to suit a particular sound, or play more comfortably.
Osmose lets you trim sensitivity on the front panel in seconds, for a playing experience that always suits you.

let's start
a new chapter
in music

Combining traditional craftsmanship and modern technology, Osmose is the result of more than 7 long years of research and development. This was all made possible thanks to an unprecedented partnership with Haken Audio. Many musicians, composers, pianists and keyboardists also generously shared their ideas and feedback, so we could create an instrument that truly met their expectations. Together, we have created something new. Now, it's over to you.
