video upload by Expressive E

"Since the beginning of the Osmose adventure, we've wanted to record our beloved MPE synth alongside a human voice. 🤍 Ryan Lott answered the call, recording "Don't Say It's Too Late," a new Son Lux song specially written on and for Osmose. Kindly enough, he let us capture this first intimate performance of the song at his studio in Los Angeles."

Press release follows:

After the successful launch of Osmose, MPE expert company Expressive E continues to expand its sound ecosystem with Noisy 2. Built for expression, Noisy 2 offers a new MPE mode that goes way beyond regular MPE integration. Its workflow was built for intuitive and expressive sound design, unleashing novel playing possibilities. To match its next-gen MPE abilities, Noisy 2 is powered by an outstanding sound engine based on new acoustic and analog resonators. This synth was made to be expressive with any MPE or classic MIDI controller and brings a brand new expressive experience for sound designers and musicians.

Unlocking new playing gestures for MPE users

At the heart of its MPE mode, Noisy 2’s expression blocks offer new playing possibilities for MPE users with trig modes.

Inspired by its Osmose experience, these Trig modes are a new, powerful, and playful way to trigger envelopes: add sound impulses by accelerating your gesture downwards (push), upwards (lift), or alternating up and down (shake) at any point within the key’s travel.

Listen to the new musical possibilities unlocked by Noisy 2’s MPE mode here.

Easy expressive sound design

Noisy 2 has been built to make the expressive sound design experience fun and intuitive.

Its workflow enables musicians and sound designers to intuitively choose their own way of interacting with the sonic dimensions of any preset. With a few clicks on the expression blocks, users can find the perfect balance between Pressure, Aftertouch, and the envelope generator to refine their personal expressive playing experience.

Producers and musicians can now integrate new motions into their projects by sculpting sounds directly with their hands and fingers.

On top of deep MPE integration, Noisy 2 offers various ways to simply and creatively add motion to sounds. With both classic MIDI and MPE controllers, the Expression Control section can now deeply alter each layer of Noisy 2 and its two FX slots with a simple turn of a knob.

Playing the Osmose! - Carlo Mezzanotte

video upload by carlomezz

"Developed by the French company Expressive E, this revolutionary instrument really expands the range of possibilities for real time control on a keyboard.Three different levels of polyphonic dynamics/aftertouch, polyphonic pitch control with lateral movement of the key, plus more traditional left-hand sliders... and a very poweful synth engine, the Egan Matrix, already in use on the Haken Continuum series of instruments.
On the unit I used, the sound programming was "locked", so I couldn't use the software editor, or store new sounds; I had to limit myself to tweaking some presets a little bit, and enjoying the wonderful performance capabilities."

Solar 42 anti-GAS therapy 💸

video upload by

"I created this song, that I named 'Drune', as a form of anti-GAS therapy with the respect to the Solar 42, where I set out to create an ambient piece with some form of drone bass together with a layer that used a 5-step sequence (the same number of steps that the Solar 42 sequencer has). I'm pleasantly surprised with how far I could get with the gear I already own.

I play the Expressive E Osmose live (using the factory patch called 'Stellaris') and send it to the Analog Four mkII where I add some reverb. The white noise and bass comes from a single, monophonic patch on the Analog Four mkII, where I play sustained drone notes utilizing all four voices. Everything then gets sent to the Syntakt where the additional elements are added, using a single pattern, before heading to the Analog Heat +FX for mastering. What you hear is recorded directly from the latter."

"My Planet, Arrakis, Is So Beautiful When The Sun Is Low" (EMS Synthi A, Cocoquantus 2, Osmose)

video upload by PanicGirlVids

"'My planet, Arrakis, is so beautiful when the sun is low.
Rolling over the sands, you can see spice in the air.'

This is a Dune inspired track that I made with my EMS Synthi A, Ciat-Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2, Expressive E Osmose, Emergence Audio Cello & Viola Textures & Felt Instruments.

Even though I haven’t seen the new Dune movie yet I keep on reading, watching and listening to every little bit I can get my hands on. Who else is excited to see the new DUNE movie? 🥰

Thanks so much for watching!"

"And another "modular Tetris" rearrangement session which led to some keyboard noodling which lead to a recording which lead to a video which lead to the need to add a lot more parts and video editing which lead to the reality that I have much more important things to be doing which caused me to stop where I was at which is why all you get is this unfinished thing! 😅
