No but its been confirmed on todays sonic talk that a long sonicstate video about the Osmose is coming out tomorrow.
Cheers- I think it’s like the ‘official’ launch day then- maybe they will put the web site up then and tell us what the holes in the back are for 
Gaz Williams did a big thing at Superbooth about the Osmose… ( pretty much drooling over it) , so I suspect they ‘organised’ something at the time
also, Cuckoo has been a long term Haken Audio supporter (via Continuum) , so Id expect he will have one to demonstrate.
then there are the ‘testers’ that did the early promo videos… I’d suspect some of them will be lined up with one.
what will be interesting to see how broad Expressive E go beyond that, I think someone like Loopop would be a litmus test… are they aiming for mass market?
I’d say Loopop is more mass, though he has reviewed the Continuum, so is already a bit ‘in this niche’…
onwards, from there, we get onto the synthfluencers… that are not so focused in this area…
Yes I’ve been expecting January 5th to mean something in that scheme of things for a while, since it was also the date that Jordan Rudess kept mentioning in his facebook video that appeared around Christmas and then vanished again. Whether its a full on embargo end date and quite a flood of pre-done content will suddenly emerge, along with new webpage and perhaps a new round of ordering availability I cannot say for sure. But its plausible.
I haven’t gotten an email about my Osmose delivery yet, but I did get one saying that they’re taking pre-orders again.
Yeah, I wish they had titled that email differently, so we didn’t all jump up and shout “it’s time!” prematurely. That was… unfortunate.
Anyway, if you log into your account in the Expressive E website;
https://www.expressivee.com/login
the “downloads and serial numbers” page (NOT the “order history and details” page) should give you an updated ETA for your unit.
(people are seeing dates ranging from February to May, it seems)
Anyway, not much point in holding your breath before whatever it says there.
(And then, the new pre-orders are planned to ship after those. So there’s also no point in trying to jump the line by ordering a second unit.)
Thanks, my ETA is next month. They’ve updated the site so that logging in takes you straight to that page.
Does “Presets for Massive X from NI” show up on that page for everyone?
That shows up along with a large amount of other presets that came out in 2020 for me, but thats because I own a touché and thats what those presets are for.
Why has time slooowed dooown tick tick February is like 2050 from now I think…I bought a model D just to pass the time…an FCA3 pedal arrived…when will it be spring?
Welcome! Now it’s 5 days closer already
US payment request emails started yesterday.
Did you get one? I haven’t yet.
Yes. Ordered in the first hour.
I ordered a second one a week later and haven’t heard from them about that one yet.
A few people dont get expressive e emails when they should, so if in doubt also log into your account on their website and it will tell you if they are ready to take your payment.
I now have paid for both of mine and the first has moved from backordered to processing status.

As of today, March 5, my account shows:
Your Osmose reservation at $1079 / 1079€ is valid. ETA: February 2023
We will be in touch via e-mail once your unit is ready to be shipped in order to double-check billing and shipping details and collect the remaining balance. Learn more .
I don’t think it’s going to arrive by last month.
From a post on Modwigglers from an early bird, he heard back from EE that there is a greater ratio of defects in the US shipment than the European one. As a result, it appears as though some deliveries will be pushed a month until a second container arrives. I am pretty sure none have shipped yet, so they are probably still evaluating things.
I think that’s a slight misunderstanding of EE’s message.
What I believe Christopher meant …
(partly based on my experience here in EU with EE/Osmose)
There has been a higher rate of returns on EU deliveries than expected, and looking into those they have spotted some issues that the initial QA failed to spot.
so, they are now checking the US delivery for those same issues, to avoid returns, but this means there will be less units available (due to unit failing this new QA) than expected.
bare in mind the batch now been readied for US distribution was produced at the same time, as the first EU batch delivered in Jan, so would have like same failure rate … so its not that the US batch is worst, its just rather than are avoiding the high return rate, by doing additional QA before shipment.
of course, presumably, Osmose being produced and QA’s now at the factory, will have these issues addressed ‘at source’, so going forward, it should be improved.
so disappointing, but with a new product these things can happen…and all EE can do is address them for the future, which is what they are doing.
I must say , my experience with EE, has been that their support/service has been exemplary… which is quite amazing considering the delays and pressures they have been under.
