Amazing. I would just double the guy who commented at around 27:00 - a transpose function from the Osmose menu is currently lacking. Also, the option to change the tuning system from the Osmose menu would be absolutely amazing.
True it's currently lacking on the Osmose itself but..if he was using bigger midi controller such as an arturia beatstep pro he could do all he is sharing plus the ability to transpose to all 12 keys as easily as the midi cc's he using.:)
I NEED to know when firmware 2.0 is being released! I love my Osmose so, so much. It has changed me as a player (and a person 😂) and I remain deeply in love, but I NEED more patch management functions and I NEED pressure glide and arp over MIDI. I'm driving a GS Music e7 polysynth (as well as the EaganMatrix) and with those updates, this thing instantly becomes the greatest MIDI controller of all time, period. I will bide my time... Thank you, you brilliantly talented designers and engineers for creating this magical instrument!
@@Cloud_Brn Yeah, it's been out for a while, but it's pretty buggy at present and Expressive E is a very small team so it may be a while before it gets patched. I was lucky enough to get on the beta test list and I have the new features, seemingly without the bugs. Weird. More great stuff is coming soon though, including some big updates to the Haken engine itself. Can't wait!
It essentially has the same mechanics as a clavichord. And why it has taken this long for a company to make an instrument like this for sound synthesis is beyond me, but at least we're finally here!
Osmose is unique as a midi controller in that you can dial in precise pressure curves. So I do us it to control piano plugins if I need a very sensitive performance. And I feel very comfortable playing piano sounds on it in any genre. But when I'm practicing for the sake of strengthening my hands and sharpening, specifically, my piano technique, I use a real piano.
I’m right on the fence with this. I want expressiveness, I also want to improve my key playing, not by more functionality on the key bed but by practicing and learning more theory and such. So I want both. People tell me if I want to learn to play keys better, don’t get an Osmose. I tell myself I can dial down the sensitivity and play it like a piano and then go nuts with the settings and get weird. If I could get your thoughts on that Josh, I’m ready to spend I think.
I've found that Osmose has expanded my playing abilities, on piano and other keyboards, by enabling me to think differently about how I play, and using alternate technoques. I would say, if you already have a "regular" keybaord, practice on both the Osmose and that. My personal philosophy about learning music is that it should be a "musical" journey. So having tools that empower you to make more inspiring and musical things, imo, will only encourage and nurture the learning process.
@@JOSHMADOFF i bought an osmose, so it’s coming and I am going to learn it while simultaneously improving my theory and piano knowledge. Cant wait for it to get here
@@JOSHMADOFF and whats the guitar preset/main changes you did to it? i've been struggling to find a good one, atleast i'll know its me that sucks and not the preset 😅

yes generally proper loading of other tunings would be great. The PTE is not working properly for Osmose.

@@johnhurd3257 ohhh, that’s actually really good info 👍
Having watched this 3 times now I think I’m ready to buy an Osmose. Such a great demo/performance thanks so much Josh.
Incredible, I want an Osmose now!

Has this update been released yet? I just ordered my Osmose, and am also looking forward to these new features I’ve read about!

What a game changer product !
Would you practice traditional piano repertoire on this, or would you use a normal board with high quality samples?

@jospehbloseph7172 Best of luck on your musical journey!
Great demo! 👏👏
Thank you 🙏
Great video! What midi controller is mapped to the osmose? Looking to do the same thing.
It's a korg NanoKontrol 2. Very easy to map
what preset are you using when showing off the ARP at arround 6 minutes
Outspoken
@@JOSHMADOFF thanks a lot
@joostvanbunnik7646 no problem!

@@MrBattlehunter it's mild kisses with the muting turned up. Try playing very gently with that one
