Osmose sound design work in progress #4

Expressive E

"This video is giving a sneak peek at the current state of 7 sounds that our in-house sound designers are programming using the EaganMatrix by Haken Audio, Osmose's internal synth engine.

These sounds range from different categories such as subtractive synth sounds, FM keys, physical modeling pluck and pads, all taking advantage of the new keybed interactions offered by Expressive E's AKA (Augmented Keyboard Action©)."

Playlist:

1. Osmose sound design work in progress #1

Shot beginning of March 2020 at the Expressive E office, this video is giving a sneak peek at the current state of 8 sounds that our in-house sound designers are programming using the EaganMatrix by Haken Audio, the synth engine that will be internal to Osmose.

These sounds range from different categories such as classic synth sounds, FM keys, cinematic pads, lo-fi experiments and crazy effects, all taking advantage of the new keybed interactions offered by Expressive E's Augmented Keyboard Action©.

Audio recorded at 44,1kHz, 24bit with a Native Instruments Komplete Audio Mk1 without further processing.

While development of the industrialized prototype is going according to plan, the unit shown is still the same prototype unit that appeared in earlier videos. Creating it involved 3d printing techniques as well as manual labour by our engineers, meaning that you can see some irregularities in the keybed. The final, industrialized model will certainly not show such tolerances and will feature a flawless, even keybed

3. Osmose sound design work in progress #3

Shot beginning of March 2020 at the Expressive E office, this video is giving a sneak peek at the current state of new sounds that our in-house sound designers are programming using the EaganMatrix by Haken Audio, the synth engine that will be internal to Osmose.

Peter Pringle's Keyboard Extension for the Haken Continuum

Published on Aug 7, 2016 EaganMatrix Programming

"A brief discussion of my build and use of the keyboard extension for the Haken Continuum invented by Peter Pringle. For the 1/2 sized unit adapting the Novation Impulse 49 is an excellent choice if you can find a used or even better non-functional unit (as long as the key bed and springs are intact)."

Published on May 16, 2016 EaganMatrix Programming

"Looking at the different simple filter types available in the EaganMatrix and showing what they all look like using noise input on a PC-based Spectrum Analyzer (not Biquad banks). Not trying to talk technically here - just presenting the basic filter types and controls. You should be able to experiment with them all after this session yourself to hear what they do to input audio of different types other than noise presented here."
