Expressive e Osmose

The Expressive E Osmose is yet another remarkable synthesizer, especially when it comes to performance. During the last couple of years, more synths and controllers have been released new types of keyboards, including ones that let you polyphonically 'bend' individual keys to give you access to the expressiveness of a violin via a keyboard. The Osmose also comes equipped with such a keyboard - even if it actually looks rather traditional. This means that it doesn't boast a large touch-pad covered with a small bit of keyboard. It's a real keyboard with keys, backed by tech that Expressive has dubbed 'Augmented Keyboard Action' (AKA). For many keyboard players, this offers a huge advantage. While other options aren't impossible to use after a bit of practice, not every musician will be equally attracted to these so, if you're looking for a keyboard with polyphonic expression plus an authentic feel, the Osmose is the perfect solution.
