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?
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.

Maybe people think its weird, but i am having fun with it.
Setup is straight forward, all MPE signals are recognized in pianoteq and can be mapped as you wish.
Here is my quick config for testing purposes.
As you can see in the image, pitch bend and both types of aftertouch are registered (aftertouch and "Controller 74").
I am using a mixture (morph) together with other MPE instruments, and its really nice. If you need more info, just ask.

Bravo, then! There’s nothing like having fun to stay motivated and create new, interesting things. I’m intrigued by the kind of music or sound art that could emerge from that—having a piano (and/or guitar, harp, marimba…) whose physical characteristics aren't fixed but vary over time; a soft instrument, as if designed by Dalí. Another control option for the Osmose—since we’re on the subject of physical modeling—would be wind or string instruments, like SWAM or the IRCAM Solo Instruments. That’s where the Osmose would easily and spectacularly stand out!
Send us samples of whatever you come up with! That experimental drive is like a breath of fresh air around here—we’re all a bit stuck in the search for the 'perfect' piano.
