Expressive E's Osmose Keyboard Gets More Affordable

The world of music production is about to get more exciting with Expressive E's latest announcement. The company is making its innovative Osmose keyboard more accessible to musicians by introducing a new, more affordable version. The Osmose CE is a MIDI controller that retains the unique features of its predecessor but ditches the built-in synthesizer, making it a more budget-friendly option for those looking to elevate their sound.

What's New with Osmose CE

The new Osmose CE comes in two sizes: 49 and 61 keys, priced at $999 and $1,199, respectively. While still a significant investment, these prices are considerably lower than the original Osmose's starting price of $1,799. In fact, the Osmose CE is even more competitively priced than its closest rival, the Roli Seaboard 2, which costs $1,399.

Key Features and Benefits

For those unfamiliar with the Osmose, it's a game-changing MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) keyboard that allows for expressive and nuanced sound control. Its keys move back and forth, enabling musicians to create subtle pitch bends and dynamic soundscapes. The Osmose CE retains this innovative design while simplifying the overall package by removing the synthesizer. This makes it an attractive option for musicians who already have a preferred synthesizer or sound module.

• The Osmose CE is available in 49 and 61 key configurations
• Prices start at $999 for the 49-key version
• The keyboard features MPE technology for enhanced expressiveness
• It's compatible with a wide range of synthesizers and sound modules

Looking to the Future

With the release of the Osmose CE, Expressive E is making its innovative technology more accessible to a wider range of musicians. As the music production landscape continues to evolve, it's likely that we'll see even more exciting developments in the world of MPE keyboards and controllers. For now, the Osmose CE is an exciting option for those looking to take their sound to the next level.
