Expressive E Osmose 49 CE

Osmose CE is a new generation MIDI controller built for expressive playing. Powered by the same expressive keybed as the Osmose synth, it lets you shape sound through natural gestures. With Ctrl-e, it brings a complete expressive sound ecosystem to your existing setup.

A Keyboard Unlike Any Other
Osmose is a keyboard that feels instantly familiar. It plays like any traditional MIDI keyboard, then reveals new dimensions of expression. Powered by the exact same keybed as the Osmose synthesizer. No compromise. Only expression.

Built For Serious Creators
Osmose CE features a white aluminium top and a black metal base. Made (built/manufactured) at our new factory in Europe.

Every Gesture Becomes Music
Expression starts with simple gestures. Players can bend a single note inside a chord, add vibrato directly from the key, and shape phrases with the nuance of a real instrument. Osmose CE responds not just to where a note is played, but to how it is pressed, bent, and released.

Plug In. Play It.
From the very first note, music creation feels immediate and expressive. Just plug in & start playing.

CTRL E - The Expressive Sound Ecosystem
Everything just works instantly. From the first note. Osmose CE works instantly with Ctrl-e, the free companion software designed for expressive music.

Bring Expression To Your Actual Setup
With Osmose CE, your existing plugins and hardware synths can become expressive, even without native MPE support. No need to switch instruments or rebuild your setup.

Go Beyond Playing, Shape Movement In Real Time

Press Glide
A unique gesture only possible on Osmose. Glide between notes using pressure instead of relying on static portamento times.

MPE Arpeggiator
Turn chords into evolving patterns where each note stays independent. Works in MPE and standard MIDI.

Smart DAW Controls
Osmose CE gives you everything you need to stay in the creative flow. No unnecessary features. No option paralysis. Just the right tools, exactly when you need them.

Focus on playing. Explore ideas naturally. Let unexpected moments happen. Because the best ideas rarely come from menus and parameters, they come from staying connected to your instrument.

Built For Serious Creators
No need to switch instruments or rebuild your setup. With Osmose CE, your existing plugins can become expressive, even without native MPE support.
