She was having a grand time wiggling keys and comparing presets. After a few minutes I directed her attention to the variation of attack and the aftertouch. "Whoa!" Younger players may be the quickest to embrace new approaches to playing. 3 Quote Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug!

uhoh7 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 This one is priceless: What Starsky did not figure out: there is a "cookbook" with many answers, for free on the Osmose Facebook group. It gets updated frequently. Version 1.7 now I think. Think of a cup half full circa 6000BCE.... "what? you are so poor?" "Taste it." "Ohhhhhh..........."

He was on 1.09 when I posted his book to this thread back in June. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Emm Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Part of me feels as if I could never master this thing and the other feels like its the instrument of my dreams. Its appeared a bit late for me, sadly, but yeah, that's MPE brought to full flower. I understand that the Haken engine is a complex bear, but as with a ROLI, just tweaking the main axes is a go-to basic skill you can grasp pretty easily. Its also likely to be a case of Preset Hell becoming a meaningless term. From what I hear, a large number of them are exactly what the instrument is for, so there seems like less of a drive to modify them at the root level. The performance level is where you do most of the expressive adjustments. I don't expect many "Digital Native Dance" patches, but after a while, we'll be able to say "That's an Osmose." I look forward to the people who will really meld with it and personalize it. Its still in the early days. Quote "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!" "Yeah, Bulletnose!

Dave Bryce Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Finally got mine. My initial thought is that I’m really impressed with this instrument. As mentioned extensively in this thread, it’s way deep…but, man - I just love the sound and flexibility so far. I’m inclined to agree that it’s quite a bargain at the asking price. It was definitely worth the wait. 😎🥳 dB 6 1 3 Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuelBLupowitz Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Wandering around downtown Montreal with my wife on a weekend getaway today, we stumbled into a Moog Audio store and I was shocked to see an Osmose in the flesh out on the floor. Plugged in some headphones and tried out a few patches ... ooh boy. I think I LOVE this thing. I've been playing a lot of left-hand bass and it seems *ideal* for that, as well as a great compromise between the expressiveness of the Seaboard and the practical needs of doing pads and stabs and other more traditional keyboard gestures to round out a rig based on organ and/or piano. How are those of you who have had yours for awhile feeling about it? From what I can tell from this thread and the wider internet, the editing software is deeply, frustratingly complicated, but it also seems like the onboard presets are diverse and very responsive. It's got DIN and USB MIDI in and out, all of which I would make use of... did I also see that there is, in fact, ways to layer and split? I had assumed it was monotimbral, and that wouldn't be a dealbreaker, but being able to spread multiple voices across the four octaves would certainly come in handy from time to time. Man, I'd had a solid two years of not having any keyboard purchases on my wish list. It's a hard life we lead. Anyway, interested in how the Osmose is feeling for those of you who have had it for awhile. 1 Quote Samuel B. Lupowitz Musician. Songwriter. Food Enthusiast. Bad Pun Aficionado.
