Osmose vs Ondes Martenot: Melodic Cello (no talking)

Here’s a quick comparison of “cello” on the ondes Martenot (Asaden Ondomo) and Expressive E Osmose.
The Ondes gets its tone from combining different waveforms of a single oscillator. The Osmose has a complex physical-modeling sound engine, and of course it can play polyphonically. I’m using the “Cellove” patch on the Osmose (yes, it’s really called that). Rather than trying to match the tones exactly, I emphasized the different sound of each instrument. Though I did run both through a speaker (or speaker emulator) to give a more even comparison.
The Osmose is certainly more “accurate” to a real cello. But I think the Ondes captures the feel of a cello very well by separating pitch and volume between the hands. That’s not a huge surprise, since Maurice Martenot (the ondes Martenot’s inventor) was originally a cellist. On the Osmose, Controlling pitch and volume simultaneously with one hand can be quite tricky — it’s basically impossible to play vibrato at the softest volume settings (because the edges of the keys will collide).
Personally, I think the physical modeling on the Osmose tries too hard to sound realistic, and that makes it cheesy. But it excels at highly controllable synthesized sounds. It just wasn’t what I expected.
The music is some riffing on 'Serena Ira' by Yuki Kajiura.
