COSM (Compsite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is Roland’s innovative and
powerful sound modeling technology. COSM analyzes the many factors
that make up the original sound, such as the electrical and physical
characteristics of the original, and then produces a digital model that can
reproduce the same sound.
