BÖHM SEMPRA SE70

Features

ULTRA FAST – The fastest start time of all current organs: Your SEMPRA is ready to play in less than 5 seconds! And you will experience the same top performance throughout the entire playing process thanks to the completely new technology: SEMPRA is not (!) just another Windows PC organ, but goes completely new ways: A CPU specially optimized for demanding real-time applications and the SEMPRA real-time performance operating system developed by BÖHM control all functions at lightning speed.

EASY TO USE – The completely newly designed, easy to understand user interface and intuitive display menus make playing and registering your SEMPRA a pure pleasure.

TOUCH or PUShbutton – Much has been discussed about touch or push button operation. Forget these discussions and simply operate your organ in the way YOU prefer. Your Sempra gives you the choice: Almost all functions can be operated either directly via the razor-sharp, eye-catching 9″ Wide View Touch Display (IPS technology) or via the buttons around the display or the data wheel.

3D PRESETS – the completely new and innovative SONG preset system from SEMPRA: Long searches for your favourite registrations are over! All settings for a title including up to 6 global presets, style or playback accompaniment etc. are clearly arranged in so-called SONGS.
You can arrange these songs in themes and albums individually according to your wishes and recall them later at lightning speed.
Or you can filter your SONG list according to banks, style categories or musical genres…you will always be able to access the appropriate SONG settings directly and at lightning speed.

With up to 6 individual presets you can make the flow of your music piece flexible and varied. And with our special playing aid you will be able to master an extensive repertoire on your SEMPRA right away: SONG presets for more than 900 pieces of music have already been completely integrated into the SEMPRA by our musicians. So you can start playing immediately and indulge in the fantastic sounds of your SEMPRA – it couldn’t be easier!

ARRANGE WITHOUT FRONTIERS – No other organ offers you even remotely comparable possibilities to register and combine sounds on the keyboards or the pedal. Arrange your orchestra, big band or large church organ from up to 8 (or even more) sounds plus drawbar per manual. Additional parts are available with the optional part extension including an additional AMADEUS2 sound module (10 parts per manual, 4 parts in the pedal).

That is not enough for you? No problem! With the optional User Parts you can add up to 16 additional, freely configurable parts and distribute them freely over the playing levels of your organ. If you then play with the individual threshold control and use the new Distance parameter to stagger your musicians or the pipe works in your “concert hall”, you will experience how breathtakingly lively your music can sound. Your SEMPRA opens the door to a whole new creativity! Simply indescribable!

EASY STYLE CREATE – The accompanying orchestra of your SEMPRA offers you a selection of over 350 perfectly arranged accompaniment styles with 4 variations and up to 4 intros and endings.
All styles can be edited in the new SEMPRA Style Editor in a very easy, flexible and lightning fast way, up to the import of new tracks or additional figures to the existing tracks.
Styles in the YAMAHA® format (up to Tyros 5/Genos) can be imported directly and adjusted “in no time” using the editor. Up to 1,024 user styles can be called up in your SEMPRA alongside the factory styles.

INTERACTIVE PLAYBACKS – Truly creative organ playing can only be experienced when the player retains control over sound, melody and accompaniment at all times. The stupid playing of pre-produced audio files or “waves” is practically impossible! Styles and midifiles offer you as a player the freedom to adjust the accompaniments individually to your arrangements. SEMPRA offers a new dimension of creativity when playing with midifile-playbacks: For the first time you can make music with midifiles as flexible as with styles! Divide your midifile into up to 6 musical sections (e.g. for intro, verse, chorus, ending…) in a flash, which you can then call up while playing directly via the corresponding style pattern buttons. Thus the Midifile becomes a perfect, song related, but still flexible accompaniment.

Of course you can adjust the instrumentation of your Midifile to your arrangement, mute unused tracks, etc. You can save your playback archive in the same way as the styles in style-related groups and categories and retrieve them just as quickly.

STANDARD STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES – What is saved, stays saved. Quickly load or save your data from/to USB stick. You can even transfer the complete organ to a USB stick as a user account and play from there. Plug your USB stick into your music friend’s SEMPRA, for example – and his organ becomes yours!

REAL ORGAN – Probably the most versatile drawbar section on the market with all the legendary drawbar organ types and sensational sound – this is the SEMPRA Real Organ. Modern physical modeling technology makes it possible: the REAL ORGAN offers an extremely realistic simulation of the typical Tonewheel organ sound in all its subtleties and with up to 15 footages. Depending on the model, you can adjust your sound with up to 12 choir drawbar sets (incl. mixture bar for the additional foot positions) or just as quickly by gesture control via the display. All important organ functions such as percussion, vibrato/chorus and of course the rotor effect are directly accessible via the corresponding buttons. Your Global Presets “remember” even the most complex tonewheel settings in detail.
With the REAL ORGAN extensions you can experience the famous sound of the Dr. Böhm and other legendary organs – from Chicago to Hunsrück – on your Sempra. Up to 12 choirs with the true-to-original repetitions and, of course, lifelike Leslie, Phasing Rotor and Vibrato emulations and full percussion will bring back the sounds of the golden organ era.

AMADEUS 2.0 – the BÖHM tone generator famous for its uniquely warm and silky sound, now with new drums and sounds. Over 2,000 fantastic tones are waiting to be discovered by you. In addition, the sound potential of AMADEUS2 can be expanded at any time with additional sound and sample packages, Accordion Fascination, Movie Sound, etc.

INNOVATIVE PLAYING FUNCTIONS – BÖHM’s unrivalled flexible playing and registration options are now much easier and clearer to master in your SEMPRA than ever before.
The possibilities have even been expanded with interesting new functions, realized for the first time on an organ, which will inspire your playful creativity. For example, play several solo chord sounds and types simultaneously on different manual sections. Here is a Glenn Miller movement, next to it an octavated string section – no problem with SEMPRA!

D-MiX preamplifier/effects section – The fantastic sound quality of the SEMPRA sound generation naturally requires equal preparation and mixing of the sounds, as well as high-quality effects such as reverb and chorus. It would not do justice to our demands to simply leave these tasks, which are so important for a perfect sound experience, to some free effect programs from the Internet.
D-MiX is a completely new preamplifier technology developed by BÖHM, which uses state-of-the-art audio processors (DSP) to transform the fabulous sounds of the SEMPRA, connected sound generators and, if desired, your voice supplied via a microphone into a silky, crystal-clear and voluminous sound experience that is second to none. Here are just the most important features of D-MiX:

• Digital inputs for all sound modules of the organ
• 2 analog inputs (line in, microphone)
• 3 stereo outputs (0 dB/headphones, front, rear)
• 2 optional single outputs for use as “effect device
• (depending on the Amadeus sound!) – only on request!
• Limiter for all outputs
• Surround effect separate for all stereo outputs
• Studio Hall with 96 fixed programs
• Chorus effect unit with 6 programs
• Microphone input with compressor and noisegate
• Separate bass and treble control for all outputs, line in, microphone, Leslie effect (if enabled)

Extensions for D-MiX (activations):

• Partial parametric 5-band equalizers: Extends the equalization (bass and treble) by its parameterization (cut-off frequency) and another 3 parametric EQ bands. This extension is available separately for each output, the line input and the Leslie (if enabled).
• Leslie with editable programs: The simulation of rotating speakers as an alternative effect device for the Amadeus organ sounds
• Quadrophony: Extension of the outputs by two additional channels. NO additional sound group is required for this expansion! Each sound group and all effects as well as the vocals of the Harmony-Voice can be positioned anywhere. With additional parameters (phase, delays etc.) incredible room effects can be achieved – from the basement bar to the cathedral!
• Harmony Voice: The vocal presets range from pitch shifting for the lead voice to a 4-voice choir including gender bending (formant shifting). All factory presets are editable and can be saved in separate user presets. The vocal presets can be linked to the SONG presets and called up from there. Compressor and noise devices for microphone are editable with the HV.
• Own semi-parametric equalizer for the microphone input Own echo/reverb DSPs for vocals (microphone)
• For the entire vocal range, a separate reverb or echo (or a combination of both) can be selected in addition or as an alternative to the global reverb. All effect components can be set separately for the main voice (lead voice) and the harmony voice (e.g. lead voice with echo, harmony voice with reverb)

D-MiX takes the sound of the SEMPRA to a new level – you have never heard an organ like this before!
