To go further...
Expressive E is a French electronic instrument manufacturer whose mission is to improve the way musicians interact with sounds by creating music creation tools that are much more intuitive and powerful.
Their goal is to enable a seamless connection between artists and their instruments.
Expressive E created the award-winning Touché and Touché SE MIDI controllers, as well as the Arché line of modeled instruments and multiple creative sound banks, including the MPE collection.
Its first standalone hardware synthesizer, Osmose, sets a new standard for musical expressiveness and pushes the boundaries of keyboard creativity. This is an easy-to-use electronic instrument
which opens new ways to control sound via familiar gestures (press, bend, shake, etc.). Osmose offers multi-dimensional control of each note while respecting the player's original keyboard skills.
About Haken Audio
Prior to the partnership with Expressive E, Haken Audio's EaganMatrix sound engine was exclusively for the company's Continuum Fingerboard and ContinumMini instruments.
The Haken Audio team members each have over 25 years of experience designing experimental sounds.
Founder Dr. Lippold Haken began work on the Continuum in the early 1980s, and over the past decade he has worked with Edmund Eagan on the development of the EaganMatrix, a sound engine inspired by modular synthesizers, optimized for three-dimensional finger movements on the Continuum Fingerboard.
