WHAT
IS
BOHEMIAN?
Cinematic,
Street
&
New
World
Instruments
BOHEMIAN
is
a
diverse
collection
of
800+
exotic,
traditional,
and
morphed
instruments
&
multis.
This
groundbreaking
library
is
derived
entirely
from
recordings
of
over
a
dozen
unique
bohemian
street
instruments
ranging
from
the
Hang
Drum,
to
a
Harmonic
Tube,
to
a
Didgeridoo,
and
beyond,
performed
by
multi-‐instrumentalist,
composer,
and
teacher
Laura
Inserra.
A
number
of
the
instruments
included
in
this
collection
are
totally
unique,
and
were
hand
crafted
especially
for
Laura.
Recorded
on
the
scoring
stage
at
Skywalker
Sound
with
renowned
engineer
Dann
Thompson,
BOHEMIAN’s
source
sounds
reflect
the
vast
setting
of
Skywalker
Sound,
and
allowed
Sample
Logic
to
morph
and
expand
on
these
traditional
instruments
far
beyond
their
original
state,
creating
a
whole
new
world
of
bohemian
street
sounds,
ready
for
any
composition.
Weighing
in
at
over
9
GB,
BOHEMIAN
not
only
includes
ready-‐to-‐play,
psycho-‐acoustically
sampled
world
percussive,
melodic,
and
effectual
instruments,
but
uses
these
instruments
to
enter
into
the
morphed
world
of
score-‐ready
hybrid
sounds.
BOHEMIAN
is
compatible
with
the
free
Kontakt
Player.
Mixed
Twice,
Extra
Nice
BOHEMIAN’s
traditional
instrument
sounds
are
delivered
as
two
separate
mixes
–
a
tight,
mostly
dry
“Main”
mix,
and
an
ambient
“Alternate”
mix
that
captures
the
incredible
scale
of
the
Skywalker
scoring
stage
–
that
can
be
used
together
dynamically
or
totally
separately
in
the
Sample
Logic
Kontakt
interface.
Experience
the
incredible
depth
of
instruments
recorded
by
an
array
of
10+
microphones
in
5
different
microphone
positions,
picking
up
each
of
the
source
instruments’
full
bombast
and
subtlest
nuance.
Whether
you
require
clinical,
dry
sound
or
hunger
for
wide
open
spaces,
BOHEMIAN
has
you
covered.
Power
Play
Returning
with
its
innovative
interface
equipped
with
8
studio-‐quality
effects,
Sample
Logic
provides
the
freedom
to
infinitely
transform
samples
into
awesome
twisted
evolving
soundscapes,
crushing
impacts,
unprecedented
sequences,
soaring
synths,
and
so
much
more
with
enormous
power.
The
interface
still
includes
Sample
Logic’s
signature
Triggers,
Wave,
and
LFOs,
and
now
rises
to
new
heights
with
several
added
features
such
as:
• Mixer
section
to
blend
two
different
mixes
of
each
traditional
instrument
• An
expanded,
dual-‐voice
additive
synthesis
engine
called
"Wave"
• A
“Dual
Filter
Oscillator”
for
unprecedented
rhythmic
effects
• Sample
Logic's
proprietary
Step
Animator
and
FX
Animator
sequencers
Double
The
Fun
CYCLONE
Retwisted
introduced
a
new
take
on
Sample
Logic's
additive
synthesis
engine,
"Wave,"
and
now
BOHEMIAN
returns
with
41
wave
shapes
to
choose
from,
and
a
dual-‐voice
engine
with
independently-‐controllable
volume
envelopes,
hi-‐
cut
filters,
and
FX
animator
engines.
With
this
expanded,
transposable
wave
section,
waveforms
can
be
added
to
the
instrument’s
overall
sound,
leading
to
endless
customization
and
massive
synths.
In
addition,
each
waveform
volume
can
be
sequenced
via
a
Animators.
Wave
can
be
used
in
many
ways,
here
are
just
a
few
examples:
• Add
a
sine
wave
transposed
down
a
few
octaves
to
add
sub
and
thicken
up
a
bass
• Animate
a
wavetable
volume
to
add
a
motion
layer
on
top
of
a
static
pad
• Transpose
a
wave
up
a
few
octaves
to
add
harmonics
and
make
the
overall
instrument
brighter
• Transpose
a
wave
down
a
5th
to
create
harmonic
instruments
Multi
Script
Macros
One
of
the
most
powerful
features
in
BOHEMIAN
are
the
powerful
“Multi
Script
Macros”,
first
introduced
in
Cinematic
Guitars
2.
Now
more
twisted
than
ever,
Multi
Script
Macros
can
be
automated
by
using
the
new
macro
knob
step
sequencers,
resulting
in
real-‐time
macro
sequencing
and
instrument
parameter
control.
On
top
of
that,
each
of
the
6
macro
knobs
can
be
assigned
to
any
combination
of
instrument
parameters
within
a
multi.
Multi
script
macros
are
completely
customizable
and
can
be
easily
created
and
saved.
By
design,
any
combination
of
instrument
interface
parameters
can
be
assigned
to
a
single
macro.
Whether
performing
live
or
automating
a
multi
in
a
DAW,
Multi
Script
Macros
are
the
perfect
production
solution.

BOHEMIAN
IN
DEPTH
Important
features
that
will
enhance
your
experience
with
BOHEMIAN:
• Most
instruments
feature
a
variety
of
key
ranges
and
transpositions
that
are
pitched
relative
to
the
chromatic
scale.
• Samples
have
been
mapped
so
their
fundamental
pitches
are
nearest
to
the
middle
C
octave
range
(C3).
Sample
ranges
outside
the
recommended
key
map
should
be
used
at
your
own
discretion.
• Sample
key
ranges
have
been
stretched
(transposed)
to
maximize
creative
possibilities
and
sonic
fidelity.
The
instruments
folder
is
subdivided
into
three
categories,
each
category
reflecting
a
general
performance
type
or
intended
use.
Within
each
folder
are
instruments
named
by
genre,
timbre,
and
the
mood
they
evoke,
but
by
no
means
should
they
be
limited
by
their
title
or
category.
Our
system
is
designed
to
better
help
you
with
organization
and
finding
the
sound
you
are
looking
for.
Please
keep
in
mind
that
Instruments
are
named
based
on
what
our
programmers
felt
appropriate.
Some
could
fit
into
multiple
categories;
therefore
they
are
named
in
a
way
that
suggests
this.
In
these
situations,
the
instruments
are
named
based
on
a
genre
that
it
most
appropriately
suggests.

TIPS
&
TRICKS
• BOHEMIAN
can
be
loaded
into
the
full
retail
Kontakt
5.4.3
or
higher,
which
is
a
separate
application
not
included,
but
may
be
purchased
from
Native
Instruments.
This
provides
you
the
ability
to
customize
the
internal
sample
programming
and
effects.
If
you
own
Kontakt
5,
you
can
load
this
library
and
experiment,
stretch,
layer,
alter
loop
lengths,
and
apply
additional
effects
to
each
instrument.
Slight
alterations
in
instrument
programming
may
improve
sample
playback
for
your
software
and
desired
effect.
Customized
instruments
should
be
saved
with
a
new
unique
name
so
the
originals
are
preserved.
• There
are
many
sonic
possibilities
buried
deep
within
BOHEMIAN
waiting
to
be
discovered,
but
if
you
are
just
starting
out
or
in
a
hurry,
we
suggest
trying
out
the
Multis
(multi
instrument
presets)
for
a
true
taste
of
BOHEMIAN.
We
recommend
that
you
explore
the
library.
• Save
large
templates
of
instruments
as
Multis
to
expedite
your
workflow.
• When
sequencing
effects
in
the
user
interface,
try
adjusting
the
“Strength”
knob(s)
to
moderate
maximum
effect
ranges,
especially
if
effects
cause
volume
overloading
or
pops
in
the
audio.
• Consider
reducing
the
release
time
for
instruments
that
are
sequenced
when
you
desire
to
play
melodic
or
fast
changing
musical
lines.
A
shorter
release
will
allow
sequenced
effects
to
retrigger
from
the
start
of
their
pattern;
otherwise
they
will
latch
onto
the
sequencers
current
location.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If
something
doesn't
seem
to
work
correctly,
there
must
be
a
logical
reason
for
it.
Native
Instruments
software
is
tested
on
a
variety
of
computers
and
configurations
to
ensure
proper
function.
Having
said
that,
there
are
an
infinite
number
of
possible
computer
setups
and
within
them
any
number
of
compatibility
issues,
software
conflicts,
hardware
problems,
and
so
on.
Performance
issues
-‐
If
your
CPU
becomes
bogged
down
during
playback
causing
audio
popping,
glitches,
or
dropouts,
try
the
following
suggestions:
• Try
turning
off
any
convolution
reverbs
that
are
ON.
• Reduce
the
number
of
voices
in
each
instrument
on
the
instrument
interface.
• Shorten
the
release
time
on
an
instrument
from
the
ADSR.
• Set
the
Kontakt
CPU
overload
protection
to
“relaxed”
or
“medium”
etc.,
and/or
set
the
appropriate
multiprocessor
settings
from
the
Engine
settings
tab
under
Kontakt’s
Options
menu.
• Adjust
the
latency
slider
under
Audio
settings
tab
from
Kontakt’s
Options
menu.
• If
you
have
more
than
2GB
of
RAM,
experiment
with
the
KMS
–
Kontakt
Memory
Server
settings
from
the
Memory
tab
under
Kontakt’s
Options
menu.
