COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) is an
original sound modeling technology developed by
Roland, in which the many factors that make up the
original sound, such as the electrical circuitry, structural
characteristics, materials used, and acoustics, are
analyzed and then recombined to reproduce that same
sound.
