Main Features
The VB-99 is the culmination of Roland’s COSM technology-based
bass modeling systems. Featuring advanced software supported by
the very latest custom DSP chips, the instrument also offers a large-
sized high-contrast LCD, top-quality AD/DA converters, balanced
XLR output connectors, digital output connectors, USB connector,
and other features that all add up to a truly pro-spec system.

The VB-99 features two separate bass and COSM amp systems. You
can use two different types of modeled basses simultaneously and
create different amp sounds to use with each bass. What’s more, the
VB-99 comes equipped with two effects systems featuring a huge
selection of BOSS effects, including COSM effects. This all enables
you to achieve the perfect processing for each individual bass.

The VB-99 now enables new and heretofore unimaginable forms of
musical expression, including new ways of using the bass’s neck and
your hands. Of course, you can still connect expression pedals and
control switches as well, just as with previous V-Bass systems.

The VB-99 can be set up in a number of different ways to suit the
needs of the user—as a desktop unit for recording or when using
computer input, attached to its stand (optional) and set up right by
the performer, or placed in a rack with the (optional) rack mount
adaptor.

Connecting a Roland FC-300 MIDI Foot Controller (optional) to the
VB-99 allows you to switch tones and carry out other tasks using the
FC-300’s multiple foot pedals for easy hands-free operation. These
units also feature an RRC2 connector, allowing you to connect the
VB-99 and FC-300 with a single cable. This RRC2 function enables
two-way communications between the devices, while further acting
as a power supply to the FC-300, thus reducing the number of cables
used to connect the devices.

information, allowing you to connect a synthesizer sound module or
similar device and use the setup as a bass synthesizer.

About COSM
(Composite Object Sound Modeling)
(Composite Object Sound Modeling)
Composite Object Sound Modeling—or “COSM” for short—is
BOSS/Roland’s innovative and powerful technology that’s
used to digitally recreate the sound of classic musical
instruments and effects. COSM analyzes the many factors that
make up the original sound—including its electrical and
physical characteristics—and creates a digital model that
accurately reproduces the original.
