basic features

pressure feedback
When you press a key on Osmose, you’ll feel a subtle but very carefully calibrated physical resistance, giving you absolutely precise continuous control for every note. Too strong a resistance would result in a keyboard that is difficult and unsatisfying to play. The A.K.A. mechanism has been fine-tuned to achieve the perfect balance.

deep key travel
How to obtain great sound control without ample gestures while playing? To express yourself with precision and sensitivity, you need to use the natural movement of the arm and upper-arm. That is precisely why key travel depth is so critically important in order to preserve the essence of the traditional keyboard playing experience.

resolution
Only if the instrument is able to accurately sample your performance, the captured performance is truly yours. High-resolution sensors capture every detail of your performance. Whatever you play, Osmose will reproduce it.
eaganmatrix
from haken audio
EaganMatrix is the outstanding sound engine embedded inside every Osmose. This means that Osmose is a standalone polyphonic modular synthesizer, and doesn't require a computer or external hardware to produce sounds.

powerhouse

when power
meets control
Never before has a sound engine allowed so many interactive possibilities with the sounds.
easy sound editing
With Osmose, it's easy to make radical changes to the timbre, texture and effects of the sounds. Simply grab and twist the macro controls to edit multiple professionally pre-mapped parameters, designed to create the broadest and most satisfying changes with minimum effort.

a tremendous sound-creation system

EaganMatrix is like a laboratory of synthesis, containing a
huge range of exciting building blocks for you to take advantage of.
Let’s take a look at just a few:

waveshaping oscillators
Flexible oscillators, that allow modulation of phase, frequency, and shape well into audio rates. The oscillators can also act as waveshapers, creating rich harmonic variations of another source input.

Biqman, Biqbank, Biqmouth, and Modman
EaganMatrix’s core technology for exploring Modal synthesis – creating the sound of real (and imagined) acoustic instruments.

sinebank
Sixteen sine wave oscillators in a cluster, perfect for creating ambient clouds, swirls and effects.

wavebank
Get 5 Sawtooth, Square, or Triangle waves and play with their amplitude, frequency and duty cycle.

harman
A granular synthesis inspired set of filters. Choose an instrument footprint and manipulate its harmonics.

kinetic model
Contains Organic Noise, Filter, Waveshaper, Oscillator and much more. A new kind of synthesis based on mechanical behavior.
