Thank you! I haven't spent nearly enough time on this keyboard, which does demonstrate that it does not require dramatic shifts in keyboard technique. Pretty cool possibilities.....
Yes I have. Several years ago I played the full size version at the AES show in NYC. I found it very difficult to play honestly. That's why I was very excited when the Osmose was announced because it seemed like Expressive E recognized the need for an instrument which didn't require complete alteration of technique.
So, how is it? I'm curious and would like one. As a newbie piano player, I am a little concerned about it's limited key bed range. I'm also concerned about it requiring a certain operating system to hook up to the computer. But i may just pay it standalone. Are the built-in sounds easy, flexible but variety? Does it have good string or violin music, and those sorts of ones? Or is it too digital sounding? The vibrato and such seems pretty sweet and i hope in the future all keyboards get that as an option
The Osmose may be the most musical keyboard innovation ever. The limited key range is not an issue since you don't gravitate to playing piano parts, for example. Plus you hit a button instantly to change the range. No computer needed. Huge range of sounds but they are not PCM sample based so its not intended to be workstation emulating conventional instruments. That said, there are plenty of great string or violin-esque sounds. As a matter of fact, the sounds are opposite of "digital" sounding. It will make you want to put away all of those other keyboards. LOL But... I've noticed that I am really only using the Osmose for specialty situations- in a different manner than say singing and playing piano accompaniment.
Thanks for sharing
neat, cheers for the demo, cool performance

@@davidcoate8946 have you tried the Roli Seaboard? (not that I have)

@@davidcoate8946 yeah I did wonder if it was awkward, thanks for the info. Regards Tim.
