Bohn SEMPRA SE 20 User manual

SEMPRA
DSP extension for Amadeus
4 effect DSPs per Amadeus sound module!
This means you can use up to 4 Sounds / Parts per sound module with FX sounds using their
individually effects at the same time!
Uses the accompaniment for example an echo guitar, you can use in the left hand a
background sound with a slow phasing effect and in the right an effect guitar and possibly
another effect sound.
The 4 effect DSPs are each assigned to several parts, so that flexible combinations are possible.
Installation of the operating system for the SEMPRA (BOS Firmware)
The DSP extension requires the following operating system versions:
•SEMPRA: vers. 1.2 (any date)
•Amadeus sound modules: vers 5.1 (April, 25th 2018)
The current firmware version of your SEMPRA
can be found by calling up the menu "System
setups" (8) - "device info" (3).
The version in the example is 1.2 from
04.12.2018 - so no update would be
necessary here.

If your SEMPRA shows an older version, you will find the current version on the included USB stick (or
on our homepage www.boehm-orgeln.de).
The current operating system is automatically detected when the stick is inserted.
Run the firmware update as described in the main manual and restart the SEMPRA!
Updating the firmware of
the existing Amadeus sound module(s)
The current fimware state of the Amadeus
sound group(s) can be found by calling up the
menu "Parts & MIDI" (7) - "MIDI slots" (7) on
the instrument:
Here the entries for all built-in Amadeus
sound groups should show at least the
mentioned version.
In the adjacent picture you can see that the
SG 2 has an older version (17.01.2018) and
should therefore be updated.
The current firmware version for the Amadeus modules can be found either on a supplied USB stick or
in the download area of the Böhm website www.boehm-orgeln.de.
To install a new operating system for the Amadeus sound groups, use the USB menu.
•Insert the USB stick on which you
have loaded the update files and
select the file type "operating
system" in the USB menu. You may
need to scroll down the list of file
types.
•Select the file "Amadeus.sgs" and
select Load / Install File on the right
side.

•If more than one sound group are
installed in your instrument, the
display will ask for which sound
groups the update should be
executed.
•If, as in the above example, only ONE
soundgroup has to be updated, only
this one can be selected, otherwise
all soundgroups can be updated at
the same time.
•During the updating of the sound
group(s), the instrument should not
be played.
•After the update, please restart the
SEMPRA!
Activation of the
DSP extension
If you have received a USB stick for installation, the activation code for the 4 effects is also stored there.
This makes the following entry easier, as the corresponding code is entered automatically when the
installation stick is plugged in as drive C or "USB1".
•Enter the menu "System setups" (8)
- "Approvals" (4):
•Select the item "4 Effects for
Amadeus", so that the code can be
read in by the inserted USB stick.
•Otherwise type the transmitted code
into the number fields manually by
using the numeric/letter buttons.
•With [ENTER] or [F4] Accept, the
function will be activated.
When leaving the menu, the Restart
should be selected.
This completes the installation.

Assignment of the parts to the effects
The following table shows the assignment of the keyboard parts to the effect DSPs.
Depending on the amount of Amadeus sound groups, there are more effects DSPs available at the
same time, of course. In the table, there is a column group for each equipment variant. Inside these
columns, all parts that use the same effect DSP are also marked in the same color. Only parts with
different colours are playable simultaneously with individually effect sounds. Please be aware of this
when using sounds using the DSP effects. These sounds usually have an "FX" in their name.
An alternative (!) use of parts with the same effect DSPand different effect sounds is still not a problem.
If you miss the FX 4 in the table: this effect DSP is permanently assigned to the accompaniment (or the
binput of the sound group).
In addition, the table also shows the associated MIDI channels of the parts when using the MIDI
interfaces and sound groups.
