Dual Footswitch
Once a musical in strument generates sound v ibrations, it reaches the huma n ear through various mediati ng objects, each of which significantly affects the sound. The material and co nfiguration
of the instrum ent, the electric/magn etic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the l atest DSP technology, “virtually” reconstructs
these objects. Roland's breakt hrough Composite Object Sound M odeling (COSM) uses the a dvantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as
well as producing s ounds that have never before been created.
