COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is BOSS/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.
