About COSM

(Composite Object Sound Modeling)

Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for

short—is BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful

technology that’s used to digitally recreate the sound of

classic musical instruments and effects. COSM analyzes the

many factors that make up the original sound—including

its electrical and physical characteristics—and creates a

digital model that accurately reproduces the original.
