Expressive E Osmose

Same here. I had an Osmose for a few months and I made the mistake of reselling it. I wasn’t using the synth much, but later on I really missed that keyboard (maybe with a hardware iteration to make it a bit more solid, yes). I tried the Arturia KeyLab 61 mk3 and the Korg Keystage 61, which weren’t bad at all but… I kept missing the Osmose keybed features and feel.

Meanwhile I got a Numa X Piano for completely different reasons and I’m very happy with it because it clearly has a different purpose and little overlap with the Osmose. But my heart beats faster whenever a new post lands on Poly AT Keyboard Discussion, New generation of Poly AT (polyphonic aftertouch) keybeds or here, hoping that Expressive E or any other company will offer an Osmose-like controller. And yes, even better if it’s 61 keys, pitchbend + modwheel, and not much else requiring extra surface/volume.
