document are trademarks or registered trademarks of their
respective owners, and are not related to Roland Corporation.
In this manual, these names are used as appropriate ways to
indicate sounds that are simulated using COSM technology.

COSM BASS

By making your own settings for the numerous parameters
that are provided, you can create a wide variety of sounds.
In addition to setting parameters of an actual bass such as
pickup, body, and the pitch of each string, you can even
emphasize portions of the harmonic content and use
polyphonic effects that process each string independently.
ON/OFF
Turn the COSM bass on/off.

TYPE

Select the type of COSM bass.
* The parameters that can be set will depend on the type. For
details on the parameters, refer to the corresponding item.

OSC SYNTH (OSC synthesizer bass)
This algorithm sounds a waveform that is generated within
the DSP. A stable change in the harmonics will be obtained.
A Hold function is also provided.
