What if your controller responded like a real instrument—where every note bends, breathes and evolves under your fingers? The Expressive E Osmose CE redefines what a MIDI keyboard can be with a fully expressive keybed, MPE capability and an integrated sound ecosystem built for immediate, performance-ready play. Available in 49- and 61-key versions, it combines per-note control, gestural expression and a library of over 900 curated presets via the Ctrl-e platform. With intuitive hardware controls, deep software integration and support for both MPE and traditional MIDI workflows, the Osmose CE delivers a fluid playing experience that bridges acoustic-style expression with modern production environments.
Expressive Keybed With Per-Note Control and Gesture Response
The Osmose CE centers around Expressive E’s expressive keybed technology, offering true per-note control that responds to how you play—not just what you play. Each key captures gestures like pitch bend, vibrato, pressure and note release, allowing you to shape individual notes within chords and phrases in real time. This level of responsiveness brings a tactile, instrument-like feel to electronic performance, supporting expressive techniques typically associated with acoustic instruments while maintaining the precision required for studio work.
Ctrl-e Ecosystem With Performance-Ready Sounds
Included with the Osmose CE, the Ctrl-e software ecosystem provides immediate access to over 900 expressive presets, each designed to respond naturally to the keybed’s capabilities. With a dynamic browser, eight pre-mapped macros per preset and tight integration between hardware and software, it removes much of the setup typically associated with expressive control. Sounds from multiple developers are unified into a single environment, allowing you to focus on playing and shaping sound rather than configuring complex mappings.
MPE and MIDI Control With Seamless Integration
Designed to fit into modern setups, the Osmose CE supports MPE, traditional MIDI and DAW control modes, making it adaptable across a wide range of workflows. Built-in performance tools such as the MPE arpeggiator and Press Glide extend expressive possibilities, while integrated DAW controls for transport, mixing and navigation keep your workflow centered on the instrument. With USB-C connectivity, MIDI I/O and pedal inputs, along with a durable aluminum construction, it delivers reliable performance for producers, performers and sound designers. The Expressive E Osmose CE offers a more natural approach to expressive playing across studio and live environments.
