Osmose looks great but don’t seem to be for general sale?
I suspect this sort of expanded polyphonic aftertouch will become commonplace in the future - my first exposure to the world of synths was via the relatively cheap/affordable arturia minifreak which provides poly aftertouch which seemingly until recently was rarely available or was v expensive. Seems like a very natural progression for keyboard hardware - although using the extra modulation effectively seems to be lagging.
The Osmose seems to have spent a lot of effort on this aspect. Curious how you use it? As a live solo instrument? Looks like trying to exploit an instrument like this using a traditional DAW would be a nightmare.

For pitch bend/vibrato the Osmose relies on the sideways key motion. Personally I'm a long-time piano player just lately getting into synths and recording, so I'm not sure how I'll use it exactly. But I'm envisioning uses similar to lead electric guitars, or expressive acoustic instruments. Or dialing down the pitch bend sensitivity and using it like Vangelis used the CS-80.
