Sound designer James Dyson of James Dyson Soundsets shares videos showing his work with the Osmose MPE keyboard controller along with Dreamsynth (above) and Sines (below).
"'Using Osmose with Cherry Audio's MPE-enabled synthesizers takes expression into another universe," says James. "The ease of use and modulation options of the Cherry Audio synths make it a breeze to assign and use with Osmose. Dreamsynth becomes Dream Expression!"
Expressive E's Osmose is a 49-key polyphonic synthesizer and MIDI controller that offers a unique, expressive playing experience unlike traditional keyboards. It features a custom-designed keybed with 3-axis motion control per key, allowing for nuanced and dynamic control over sound using gestures like pressing, bending, shaking, and strumming. The Osmose can be used as a standalone synthesizer with its built-in sound engine or as a MIDI controller for other synths, including those that support MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression).
