Amadeus

The complete new Amadeus tone generation system, designed and developed by the KEYSWERK engineers and musicians, has raised the Bohm organ up to
an even higher level of excellence. As of now, Amadeus is standard in every new Bohm instrument and many existing and even older instruments can also be upgraded to it.

Amadeus makes use of the newest ultra-fast processor technology, large flash memory and samples in studio quality resulting in an extraordinary sound experience. You will be thrilled with the depth of sound when playing your favorite melodies – whether a soft solo instrument or a full blown orchestra, the sound is always warm and smooth – even at higher volumes. We guarantee that you have never heard anything like this from an electronic organ to date, and that is a promise!

Not only does Amadeus offer a virtually unlimited pool of top quality sounds, but also integrated articulation and phrasing features, typical to many of the individual instruments themselves. This adds enormously to the authenticity of the voices.

Many of these functions can be influenced in the by the organist himself, either by using the touch sensitivity of the keyboard, after touch, the number of played notes or by varying between legato and staccato play. For example, with some brass voices it is possible to influence the ‘blowing’ noise of a new note just by playing the note in a staccato way (blowing effect is audible) – playing the note legato results in a smooth tone without the blowing effect. Amadeus detects your way of playing in ‘real time’ – the system then uses a wide variety of features such as sample elements, volume or sound filter changes as well as pitch effects to reproduce the sound being played with the upmost authenticity. In the case of some guitar voices, random fret noises are used to create the ‘realism’ of the original instrument.

The intelligent assistance that the Amadeus system provides, allows the player to influence all of these things himself – you sure can’t get any better than that!

noises – even in the decay phase.
You just hear the pure sound.

when played.
