49/61-key gesture sensitive keybed

An expressive keybed like no other

Built around the custom Augmented Keyboard Action, Osmose connects every gesture - press, bend, shake or strum - to sound with uncanny responsiveness. Its extended polyphonic pressure, high-resolution aftertouch, and individual pitch control offer a playing experience closer to an acoustic instrument than a typical synth.

custom expressive sound engine by Haken Audio

EaganMatrix is a modular synthesis engine that interprets every gesture in real time, creating a deep connection between player and sound. It offers vast sonic possibilities from analog to physical modeling. For advanced sound design, the powerful Haken Editor (Mac/PC) lets you explore and shape sounds beyond traditional modular systems.

 

more than 500 presets with tailored macros

Osmose features more than 500 presets spanning a diverse sonic palette. From cinematic strings, evolving FM pianos, and powerful electro basses to dynamic percussion, lush synth pads, expressive wind instruments, and textured SFX, each sound is crafted to respond to expressive gestures. Tailored macros let you easily shape textures—unlocking endless creative possibilities.

 

external midi control w/ classic & mpe keyboard configurations

Osmose lets you control any soft or hardware synth via DIN MIDI and USB, unlocking their full potential. It supports polyphonic aftertouch and initial pressure, as well as per note pitch bend for deep expression. If you prefer simplicity, switch to piano mode for classic velocity control. Configure all MIDI settings easily on Osmose’s built-in screen, no computer needed.

 

large color screen & ergonomic UI

Osmose features a large color screen and a custom operating system designed for a playful and intuitive experience. No endless menus or shift buttons, just direct access to more than 500 expressive presets, smart categories, and powerful macro controls. Tweak sounds easily, explore gestures freely, and enjoy a fun and rewarding learning curve from the very first note.

 

built-in mpe arpeggiator & innovative glide control

Osmose includes a built-in MPE arpeggiator and an innovative glide control for new ways of playing. Create intricate rhythmic patterns that respond to your gestures and explore fluid pitch transitions with intuitive key movements. These features offer expressive tools to expand your musical language, whether you’re crafting cinematic textures or experimental grooves.

 

personalized sensitivity controls

Whether you seek full expressivity or a more traditional feel, Osmose adapts to your playing style with personalized sensitivity settings. Adjust individual curves for each gesture to make the instrument truly your own.

 

sleek eco design

Osmose features a sleek black casing with signature key stems, built from rugged, glue-free construction for easy disassembly and repair. Made with 66% recycled materials, it’s tested for real-world durability and includes an auto-diagnostic tool to streamline support and reduce unnecessary shipping.

craftmanship with a unique design signature

3-axis motions for every key

A unique mechanism captures three-dimensional gestures on every key. Extended pressure shapes timbre and volume from the first touch. High-resolution aftertouch reveals new layers as you press deeper, while lateral motion enables per-note bends and vibrato, just like on an acoustic instrument.
