Topic: Midi mapping for Osmose

Does anyone have any idea how to map Pianoteq for Osmose?

It is not clear to me what cc's the Osmose is actually sending for initial pressure and deep pressure and release, or whether this is done with something other than CC.

Anybody got any tips on this?

Re: Midi mapping for Osmose

Osmose is the last keyboard I would use to control Pianoteq, but if you really want, I think you should analyze the MPE features:

The "trick" is that it uses one midi channel for each note...

To be honest, using an Osmose for Pianoteq is definitely weird. It’s like riding a thoroughbred while wearing a Formula 1 fire suit, or using an aerospace simulator to fly on the back of an imperial eagle. I’m not sure what can actually be achieved—probably not much—considering most Pianoteq parameters are defined before the key is struck. Once the note is triggered, there’s little left to do, at least compared to what we’re used to with conventional synths, where you can modulate almost any aspect of the sound on the fly. Well, you could also look at it as a personal challenge, or a way to pressure the Modartt team to stay on the track they began with Syngular, opening up perspectives beyond pure acoustic simulation. Best of luck.
