PB (Pedal Bend)

This lets you use the pedal to get a pitch bend effect.
The EXP pedal automatically switches to the pedal bend
function when PB is selected.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more
sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.

* When the Rate (Slow) or Rate (Fast) set to BPM, the value of each
parameter will be set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 51)
specified for each patch. This makes it easier to achieve effect sound
settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to
one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).
When setting to BPM, press PARAMETER [
