TONE 1 & 2, 3 & 4 BOOSTER
0, +6,
+12, +18
Specifies the amount of boost that is applied (when the Structure Type is 03 or 04)
The booster distorts the sound by boosting the input signal, producing the distortion
effect that is often used with an electric guitar. Increasing this value will produce
stronger distortion.
Booster
The Booster is used to distort the incoming signal.

In addition to using this to create distortion, you can use the
waveform (WG1) of one of the tones as an LFO which shifts the other
waveform (WG2) upward or downward to create modulation similar
to PWM (pulse width modulation). This parameter works best when
you use it in conjunction with the WAVE GAIN parameter (p. 32).

Ring Modulator
fig.RingMod
A ring modulator multiplies the waveforms of two tones with each other,
generating many new overtones (in harmonic partials) which were not
present in either waveform (Unless one of the waveforms is a sine wave,
evenly-spaced frequency components will not usually be generated.).
As the pitch difference between the two waveforms changes the harmonic
structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic sound. This function is
suitable for creating metallic sounds such as bells.
