Chapter 2 Creating Sounds
First, let’s take a look at how the VG-99 is organized internally.
●
COSM Guitars
You can use COSM modeling to create the tones of a variety of
different guitars. Available sounds include not just electric and
acoustic guitar tones, but extend beyond to include the sounds of
synthesizers and other instruments and even non-existent,
imaginary guitars. Since the created sounds are based on the signals
sent by the GK-3 for each individual string, the system allows you to
play these sounds while still retaining all the flavor created by the
unique playing techniques and picking nuances that the guitar
offers.
The VG-99 allows you to make settings for two different COSM
guitar types at the same time, enabling you to instantly switch what
amounts to two actual guitars and create sounds in which two
guitars seem to be playing at the same time.
You can use the Alternate Tuning function to change the
pitch of each COSM guitar string individually.
●
Poly Effects
These are original VG effects that can be applied independently to
each string. You can choose which of the two COSM guitars the
effects are applied to.
●
COSM Amps
Since this technology models the guitar amp circuitry and speaker
characteristics, the modeled amps simulate exactly the behavior of
the actual amps, even in the way distortion is added and the way the
tone controls work.
You can configure preamps and speaker cabinets as you like—you
can even model the amp’s studio miking. The VG-99 produces two
independent COSM amp systems at the same time, which allows
you to process each of the two COSM guitars through a different
amp.
●
Effects
The VG-99 is equipped with two BOSS GT-PRO class multi-effects
systems. You can apply effects separately to each of the two COSM
guitars.
●
Mixer
In addition to having full freedom in mixing the sounds from the
two COSM guitars, you can also output the two guitars separately to
MAIN OUT and SUB OUT. The Dynamifunction further allows you
to use the force of your picking attack to switch between the two
guitar sounds or for many other functions. Furthermore, the mixer
section also includes delay/reverb and an equalizer, enabling you to
adjust the overall tone of the patches.
