COSM List

COSM Parameters

COSM provides 15 types. This section explains the features of each
COSM, and the functions of the parameters.

Explanations for each COSM Type are given on the following
pages.

Parameters marked by “#1”–“#4” can be selected as a destination
parameter for matrix control (Destination). These correspond as
follows.
#1: Destination CSM1/2-PRM1
#2: Destination CSM1/2-PRM2
#3: Destination CSM1/2-LFO-PRM1
#4: Destination CSM1/2-LFO-PRM2

Overdrive / Distortion

Overdrive produces a natural-sounding distortion
similar to that produced by a vacuum tube amplifier.
Distortion produces a more intense distortion than the
overdrive effect.

Wave Shape

You can use a variety of waveforms to create and
distort the sound.
