Available in both 49-key and 61-key versions, the Osmose CE strips away the synthesizer found in the original Osmose. Instead, it focuses entirely on becoming a powerful MIDI controller for studio setups, with DAW compatibility, a huge ecosystem of expressive presets, and a range of performance tools designed to make the keyboard feel far more natural.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Osmose CE \u2014 Trailer\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5Ayas7IR15k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>A keyboard that reacts like an instrument<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, the Osmose CE looks like any other piano-style keyboard. But underneath the hood, it\u2019s doing something very different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Powered by the same expressive keybed found in the original Osmose synthesizer, the controller responds to far more than simple note velocity. Each key can react to pressure, bends, vibrato, release gestures, and subtle movements thanks to MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, this allows users to bend a single note within a chord, add vibrato directly from the key itself, or shape phrases with far more nuance than a standard MIDI keyboard would typically allow. It\u2019s the kind of performance that starts to blur the line between keyboards and acoustic instruments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That expressive capability is part why the original Osmose gained so much popularity. And as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/gadgets\/920432\/osmose-ce-mpe-midi-controller\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Verge<\/a> points out, Hans Zimmer even used an orchestra of Osmoses for the score of <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Osmose CE - The New Generation Of MIDI Controllers\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tZm7feScmzI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ctrl-e brings a whole sound ecosystem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside the hardware itself, Expressive E is also introducing Ctrl-e, a free accompanying software platform designed specifically for expressive performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ctrl-e is built to work with the Osmose CE straight out of the box. The software includes more than 900 expressive presets that have been specifically designed to showcase the keyboard\u2019s capabilities. It\u2019s complete with a range of expressive sounds designed by both Expressive E\u2019s own sound engines and curated instruments from leading developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main idea here is simplicity. Plug the controller in, load preset, and start playing with no mapping or setup required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/expressivee.imgix.net\/img\/products\/osmose-ce\/ctrle-slider-item1.png?fm=webp\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressivee.com\/178-osmose-49-ce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expressive E<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Press glide and MPE arpeggiator add new creative possibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One standout feature is press glide, a gesture-based control system that lets users glide between notes using pressure rather than relying on traditional portamento settings. The result feels much more physical and reactive, and is something only possible on Osmose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The controller also includes an MPE arpeggiator that allows each note in a chord to maintain independent expression. Instead of static arpeggios repeating the exact same motion over and over, patterns can evolve dynamically depending on how each note is played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these tools seem built to encourage more natural performances and less robotic sequencing. That\u2019s the kind of thing that will be particular useful for musicians and producers working inside of DAWs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Built to fit into modern DAW workflows<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of which, the keyboard includes smart DAW controls designed to keep users focused on creativity while keeping the workflow simple. The controller supports integration with major DAWs including Ableton Live, Bitwig, Cubase, and Logic Pro. That makes it easy for users to plug in to the spaces where they\u2019re already creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/expressivee.imgix.net\/img\/products\/osmose-ce\/slider-3-item-10.png?fm=webp\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressivee.com\/178-osmose-49-ce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expressive E<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Pricing and availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Osmose CE will launch in two versions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>49-key model: $999<\/li><li>61-key model: $1,199<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite still being expensive for a MIDI controller, it\u2019s comparatively more affordable than the original Osmose synthesizer which launched at $1,799.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CE models also feature a white aluminum top paired with a black metal base, giving the controller a sleek studio-focused aesthetic that feels modern without going overboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Osmose CE\u2019s core product features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick breakdown of the controller\u2019s main features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>49-key or 61-key expressive keybed with per-note control<\/li><li>Gestural controls including tap, pitch bend, vibrato, shake, strum, and expressive note-off<\/li><li>Ctrl-e companion software included<\/li><li>More than 900 expressive presets<\/li><li>Press glide and MPE arpeggiator performance controls<\/li><li>Configurations for MPE control, traditional MIDI control, and DAW control<\/li><li>Eight pre-mapped macro controls per preset through Ctrl-e<\/li><li>DAW integration with Ableton Live 12+, Cubase 15+, Bitwig 5+, and Logic Pro 12+<\/li><li>4.3\u201d color LCD display with 7 knobs\/encoders, 9 buttons, and pitch and modulation sliders<\/li><li>DIN MIDI in and DIN MIDI out\/thru connectivity<\/li><li>USB-C support with 2 assignable pedal inputs<\/li><li>Dimensions<ul><li>Osmose CE 49-key 9 x 30 x 89.5cm<\/li><li>Osmose CE 61-key 9 x 30 x 106cm<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li>Weight<ul><li>Osmose CE 49-key 10kg \/ 22lbs<\/li><li>Osmose CE 61-key 11kg \/ 24.3lbs<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/expressivee.imgix.net\/img\/products\/osmose-ce\/slider-1-item-5.png?fm=webp\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressivee.com\/178-osmose-49-ce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expressive E<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expressivee.com\/178-osmose-49-ce\">Osmose CE is available right now for $999\/$1199.
