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:play video.
piano mode
Osmose can emulate a classic keyboard controller, sending simple velocity messages.
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.
multichannel MPE, MPE+
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.
