Osmose: The biggest leap forward in synths since... the synth?

This synth has changed the way I think about composition. No hyperbole, but it's like the angels of inspiration came down, sat next to me, and started whispering ideas to me. I can't wait to see what you do with this instrument.

I want one of these but i hope they build an 88 key version i am not a fan of anything less than 88 keys

I definitely like their approach to this. I will be looking closely at these, thanks Jef!

About time you got your hands on one of these🤩🤩🤩

man i'm so excited to try this thing some day, really does look like a generational leap

I have a Roli Seaboard (49 note) that I use a lot during recording. It most certainly has its place, but the fact that this keyboard has traditional keys makes it very alluring. Thank you for the great description of what this kbd has to offer.

Killer instrument. Love it! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

thanks for the video, really cool keyboard.

Would like to see examples of mpe soft synths etc, uvi, swam, orchestral stuff, Arturia...

Wow incredible ! Want !

I tried it at Superbooth 23 and it gave me a dozen new ideas within a few minutes. So while I would consider it less a "synth" than "a huge data base of very natural sounding regular instruments", I think I could still integrate it very well in my music (as your sound examples have shown, which sound very synth-like).

Love it.

Pitch bend PER note! Yeah baby! Yeah!

Great new synth. Love to see more video's about it. Don't really know what questions to ask... Wonder when Logic will be able to handle the MIDI info from this instrument. (Guessing it's not compatible yet.)

I purchased one of these when they came available and it has become my soloing synth of choice in the studio. I would love to see a step by step how to set it up as a controller in cubase as that is my main DAW.

Great video ! How do you get a shirt ?

So the Osmose is quite impressive. In fact, I am looking to consolidate two different keyboard controllers - Arturia Keylab 61 mk2 and three ROLI LUMIs - into one, for which the Osmose is a strong consideration. What is holding me is I am waiting for Arturia to come out with the mk3 of the Keylab and I'm hoping it will include polyphonic aftertouch/MPE support. The complicated part with the Osmose is their patch editor, which is not the easiest to understand. This may be a dealbreaker if you are into sound design. But if you are not, like the patches provided and/or are using it more as a controller, then that shouldn't be a problem. The KORG Keystage does have polyphonic aftertouch at a reasonable price point and the recent Native Instruments KONTROL-S keyboards have it also. I like being able to switch between playing styles. While I can certainly use more expressive playing, I am also used to the more static play-action/response. Therefore, I do like it when you can switch it on or off depending on what you are doing. Then there is adjusting sensitivities.

This synth has very beautiful sounds, I've been waiting for a while to find a keyboard with such an expressive standard layout. I would be interested to know if it works as a midi controller on my virtual instruments and which ones recognize, even partially, its functionalities, preferably on Cubase 13 pro. Thank you so much.

Jef: Thank you for another motivating video! Question: If you load up a piano vst, can you play this like a piano and get reasonable results? Another way to ask the same question: could you survive with this as your main controller, considering just the key action? Thank you!

Hi Jef, would love to see how this works as a controller for other MPE libraries, like SWAM for instance.
