DualWavebank Overlay for Osmose and Electra One MK2 Controller Features Summary

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"A video describing the features of the soon to be released Beta version of the Dual WaveBank Overlay for Electra One (MK2) controller - that abstracts EaganMatrix programming and lets you concentrate on configuring sounds using controls you are used to (in fact you could never program these features into a single EaganMatrix preset on the Osmose as only six Macros are available for on-board presets. But Overlays ex[pand that greatly allowing for complex synths to be created from a single EaganMatrix preset. Sorry - it's the video's here sound but I think you still get a good idea of the feature set. This describes the version that will run on the Expressive E Osmose.

Note: This only runs on the EL1 and only on the MK2 version due to resource limitations of MK1. It cannot be ported easily to any other platform as the Lua code uses many EL1 specific calls, though the EaganMatrix Overlay preset (dualwaveosmose.mod) used by the Overlay could be reused by another application that could add a similar feature set. All these features come from one single Osmose preset running on the Osmose - controlled by the EL1 Overlay application."

Superbooth 2025 Highlights

video upload by Thomann Synthesizers

"Just got back from this year´s Superbooth in Berlin. Here are some of our highlights.
Frap Tools just might have dropped the polysynth of the year. Intellijel surprised us with a stunning desktop mixer.
Haken Audio & La Voix Du Luthier’s resonator turns any synth into an acoustic instrument—and Korg’s Phase 8 is finally production-ready. Superbooth 2025 came through!”

Dual LeCaine Synth Overlay for EaganMatrix Instruments and Electra One MK2.

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"I realized it would not take that much work to take the Dual Wavebank Synth Overlay for EaganMatrix-based instruments that lets you manipulate Saw, Square and Triangle configured waves and turn it into a Le Caine Synth Overlay (the newer additive Wavebank wave option that lets you manipulate the amplitudes of six Square waves (X, 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X and 8X frequencies). Since the GUI for this is totally different in terms of configuring the bank I created a new Overlay. I expect the new Electra One firmware to be released very soon and hopefully Osmose firmware that will support Overlays very soon as well. I'll release the overlays I have for Beta testing when formal notice of the firmware required to run them is announced."

A note on the update:

"Haken Editor and Firmware 10.51: Updated March 17 2025

This new firmware adds increased functionality and sound design possibilities to our EaganMatrix sound engine, the sonic heart of all of our Haken Audio products.

EaganMatrix BiqGraph Bank has enhanced ways to control narrowband resonances.

Control resonance using Decay Time Constants or Bandwidths

Optional use of Excitation Position for filter inputs.

Optional use of String Nonlinearity Coefficient for filter center frequencies.

EaganMatrix Additive Bank has support for Christophe Duquesne’s “Loris” Additive Overlay.

Up to 40 additive analyses, grouped into 4 decades.

Analyses and associated presets are set up by Loris, then playable within the EaganMatrix.

Continuum players have a new way to play tiny intervals or unisons: Place one finger at near side of surface and another at far side, then keep each finger at its side while sliding towards same pitch.

Fixed a variety of bugs reported by users, including:

Polyphony incorrect on certain older presets.

Damper pedal issues on some 8x Continuums.

Certain presets had incorrect voice allocation when receiving MPE.

Incorrect formula interaction with Touch Control Area and Pitch Trim Graphs.

Stuck notes when changing polyphony while playing additive presets.

Power-up inter-dsp communication improvements for multi-dsp systems (6x, 8x).

Sync-to-Incoming SPDIF digital audio.

User-reported problems in 10.50."

Silver Bar

video upload by HakenAudio

"This video explores some of the sonic variations that can be made within this single EaganMatrix preset, 'Silver Bar.' Variations like these can be achieved by making adjustments to the Macro controls within the preset, but more significantly by employing different playing techniques and the Touch Control Area on the playing surface of the Continuum.

Silver Bar employs new firmware 10.50 features in the BiqGraph Bank of the EaganMatrix.

Edmund Eagan is the performer and the EaganMatrix preset designer for this video. More information about the Continuum Fingerboard may be found at www.HakenAudio.com"

Loris Based Crystal Baschet Emulation with Continuum & EaganMatrix Micro

video upload by EaganMatrix Programming

"Here's an initial shot at emulating a Crystal Baschet using Loris conversions from Soniccouture's "GlassWorks" Library. The treble is played on the Continuum's internal sound engine but because bass notes on the instrument can sound quite different, the Continuum is split to output MPE midi below the split. The Midi is sent into an EaganMatrix Micro which plays the bass Loris conversions. Continuum & Micro are then mixed to output. Osmose can then play the combined duo as well. Y based modulation and dynamic convolution using Waterphone IRs give you a better emulation of change simulating rubbing rods up and down. Probably need to be totally quantized as Continuum bend sound unnatural (but that's an easy change). Uses a custom EaganMatrix Overlay running on COntinuum and another on the Micro designed for this specific use case."

Haken Audio EaganMatrix Micro

Details follow:

"The power of EaganMatrix Sound Technology in our smallest product ever! The EaganMatrix Micro is a full-featured EaganMatrix sound engine in a small self-contained form factor, and is be powered and controlled via USB.

The EaganMatrix Micro (system identifier u2x) provides a truly versatile framework for both studio and live performance, with a robust implementation of MPE and MPE+ Midi.

The EaganMatrix Micro is a perfect companion to the amazing Warbl Wind Controller. The fingering holes on the Warbl are not just switches. You can hear that the pitch starts off a bit as the finger gets close to the hole (like it would on an acoustic wind instrument) and hits the final pitch once the hole is covered. It’s a subtle effect but important. The following video shows 15 Presets from the Micro’s demo assortment that Edmund Eagan skillfully customized to take advantage of the Warbl’s specific sensing technology. In the future there may be demo assortments customized for the sensing technologies of other devices.
