Expressive E Osmose CE 49 – 49-Key Expressive MPE MIDI Controller Keyboard
Expressive E Osmose CE 49 turns familiar keyboard technique into detailed, per-note control. Its 49-key expressive keybed responds to pressure, pitch and gestures. Meanwhile, full MPE support, Ctrl-E presets and built-in performance tools give players a direct way to shape every phrase.
Play Every Note with More Detail
The expressive keybed responds to Tap, Press, Pitch Bend, Vibrato, Shake, Strum and Expressive Note-Off gestures. That means pitch and movement can be shaped within chords instead of treating every note as a single on-or-off event. The familiar keyboard feel keeps the playing experience approachable while opening up more nuanced performance control.
Start Creating with Ctrl-E
Ctrl-E is included as a companion software ecosystem with 900+ expressive presets. Each preset is designed to respond to the keybed’s pressure, pitch and gestural input, while 8 pre-mapped macros per preset keep useful sound controls close at hand without requiring complex MPE routing or plugin-by-plugin setup.
Shape Performances from the Keyboard
Built-in tools such as the MPE Arpeggiator and Press Glide add hands-on ways to develop ideas as you play. The Osmose CE 49 can also operate as an MPE Controller, Traditional MIDI Controller or DAW Controller, with transport, mixer and macro control available through its DAW integration.
Connect It to Your Setup
A 4.3″ color LCD, 7 knobs/encoders, 9 buttons, pitch and modulation sliders, plus 2 assignable pedal inputs put essential control within reach. DIN MIDI In, DIN MIDI Out/Thru and USB-C connectivity suit studio or performance setups, while the white aluminum top and black base give it a focused, practical look.
