Chapter 2 Creating Sounds
First, let’s take a look at how the VB-99 is organized internally.
●
COSM Basses
You can use COSM modeling to create the tones of a variety of
different bass guitars. Available sounds include not just electric bass
and acoustic bass tones, but extend beyond to include the sounds of
synthesizers and electric guitars and even non-existent, imaginary
bass guitars. Since the created sounds are based on the signals sent
by the GK-3B 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 bass guitar
offers.

The VB-99 allows you to make settings for two different COSM bass
types at the same time, enabling you to instantly switch what
amounts to two actual bass guitars and create sounds in which two
bass guitars seem to be playing at the same time.

COSM Amps
Since this technology models the bass 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 VB-99 produces two
independent COSM amp systems at the same time, which allows
you to process each of the two COSM basses through a different
amp.

Poly Effects
These are original VB effects that can be applied independently to
each string. You can choose which of the two COSM basses the
effects are applied to.

Mixer
In addition to having full freedom in mixing the sounds from the
two COSM basses, you can also output the two bass guitars
separately to MAIN OUT and SUB OUT. The Dynamic function
further allows you to use the force of your playing attack to switch
between the two bass sounds or many other functions. Furthermore,
the mixer section also includes delay/reverb and an equalizer,
enabling you to adjust the overall tone of the patches.
