Expressive E Osmose 49 CE MPE Controller Keyboard

Expressive E Osmose 49 CE brings the Osmose playing experience to a dedicated 49-key MIDI controller. Each key responds to pressure and sideways movement, giving you individual control of pitch and expression within a chord. The Controller Edition has no onboard sound engine: it needs a software instrument or an external MIDI sound source.

Included Ctrl-E software provides over 900 expressive presets with mapped macros for quick sound shaping. Browse sounds and adjust parameters from the keyboard while working in a compatible DAW. The four-octave format suits a studio setup where expressive control and desk space both matter.

Key features

• 49 full-size expressive keys with per-note pitch bends and polyphonic pressure.
• MPE and conventional MIDI modes for compatible software and hardware.
• Ctrl-E sound platform included, with expressive presets and eight mapped macros per patch.
• MPE arpeggiator and Press Glide for gestures and note transitions.
• Transport, mixer and track controls for supported DAWs.
• Colour display, USB-C, DIN MIDI and two assignable pedal inputs.

Software requirements: Ctrl-E uses a compatible AU or VST3 host on macOS 12 or later or Windows 11 or later; it has no standalone version. An iLok account is required, with no hardware dongle needed. Full third-party instrument editing requires the relevant plug-in licences. See the current Ctrl-E requirements.
