	Pedal routing is similar to lower routing, except the "mechanical" contacts. Pedal logic consists of a total of 915 ADSR/VCA circuits to support 15 harmonics and up to 61 keys. Pedal drawbar set may consist of 2, 4 or 12 drawbars (selectable by parameter). When in 2- or 4-drawbar mode, upper harmonic levels (virtual drawbar positions) are derived from 16'/8' drawbars by a formula.

			From firmware version 5.65 and up, pedal audio may be routed through lower manual vibrato like on B3 or dry.
