We now have the feature we’ve all dreamed of... (Expressive E Osmose)

New single “Cloud Collapse“ out everywhere: I’ve been interested in Osmose since Expressive E first announced it a few years ago, and have followed its development closely. For me, it lives up to the hype. Disclosure: Expressive E sent me this unit but didn’t pay me, didn’t tell me anything I should or shouldn’t say, and didn’t see any part of this video before I published it. I put a lot into this video because I’m excited to explore and share about Osmose; I think it’s a huge step for keyboard instruments which we haven’t seen in a long time.
