Once a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, it reaches the human ear through various mediating objects, each of which significantly affects the sound. The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, “virtually” reconstructs these objects. Roland’s breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.
Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument — or even control a live video camera — when used with Edirol video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a powerful interface for realtime audio and video integration.

Once a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, it reaches the human ear through various mediating objects, each of which significantly affects the sound. The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, “virtually” reconstructs these objects. Roland’s breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.
MIDI Visual Control is an internationally-used recommended practice that was added to the MIDI specification so that visual expression could be linked with musical performance. Video equipment that is compatible with MIDI Visual Control can be connected to electronic musical instruments via MIDI in order to control video equipment in tandem with a performance.
Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument — or even control a live video camera — when used with Edirol video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a powerful interface for realtime audio and video integration.
