Expressive E Osmose is ‘A Glimpse Of The Future’
Synthesist Starsky Carr, in his latest video, shares his thoughts on the new Expressive E Osmose – a synthesizer he describes as ‘a glimpse of the future’.
Carr discusses his process of learning the Osmose as the 7 stages of enlightenment:
0:00 1 Shock – overview of the hardware
2:11 2 Realisation – whats MPE and how does it work
12:22 3 Conceptualisation – how to use it & controlling the sensitivity
15:21 4 Understanding – getting to grips with the Haken Editor
24:58 5 Rejection – some minor issues and some bigger ones
32:29 6 Acceptance – integrating into your studio
33:12 7 Enlightenment – Sunny Uplands of Synthershire
“The software can be a b*tch at first,” notes Carr, “and its so frustrating that a few tweaks to the manual would’ve saved me a day or so of headscratching.”
But his main takeaway is that, once you’ve experienced the expressive capabilities of the Osmose, “a lot of synths will feel lacking”.
