I am new to the EaganMatrix and specifically the Expressive E Osmose MPE keyboard. Once I download a compatible patch from patchstorage how do I install it on my Osmose? Does it require having the Haken Editor installed on my computer?

Yes. You need to save the preset somewhere on your disk and then load the preset into the Editor (Editor: “Open Preset from Disk”) and then it will be the current preset played by Osmose (assuming editor is connected to Osmose). But right now the preset name will not be displayed on the Osmose. You can then save the preset to an Osmose User position. You need to reboot the Osmose to see the new User position presets if you store with editor. That’s a bug they will be fixing. There are number of editor/Osmose syncronization issues being addressed.
Patch management with the Eaganmatrix editor is really simple. Patch files are stored on your local drive and it is up to you to manage the folder structure. This for me was a bit of a relief as lots of hardware synthesizer editors do have elaborate patch library management systems that I find confusing and not helpful at all.
On top of that, inside each Osmose/Eaganmatrix patch, you can specify what categories the Osmose can apply to it (in it’s filters).
I have often managed to store a patch in a user position and have it show up by switching to the factory patch settings on the Osmose and then go back to the user patch entry. Doesn’t always work, but good enough for now. A reboot always works, but that involves a power cycle, which I try to avoid.
You can hear the patch playing as soon as you click on it in the editor. When making changes to existing patches make sure you save often. One wrong click and you can loose your settings.
Thanks guys! Perfect! Appreciate the responses.
I find the easiest way to save a preset to a user slot is to drag and drop the MIDI file of the preset directly into a user slot.
With this method, the name of the preset automatically becomes that of the midi file.
Each new preset must be transferred to the desired slot with SHIFT + Click. The sounds can already be heard on OSMOSE but still with the wrong names.
Press the ► and then ◀︎ buttons on OSMOSE and then [save].
All 128 presets of the Eidtor are correctly transferred to the user library.
