I'd just like to report that the B4 does respond to the sustain pedal.
This is on the B4 first version.
If the sustain is sent only via the channel of the lower manual (Ch-2 in this case), the upper manual is independent of the sustain.
I have not tested the other channels it uses (ch1 and ch3), but for other things sending to ch-1 spreads to all 3 channels, while sending to ch-2 and ch-3 act independently, a feature that can and I do put to some use.
So, this means that the sustain can even be sent to the pedals independently, if so any one wanted to do.
The B4-II might be the same, but those who use the B4-II can check if they need to or want-to.
Also, using the sustain with the B4 does have some interesting uses, including the fact that the expression pedal is independent of the sustain. This means that a sustained note can be swelled up or down after released.
Just sharing info, in case, and as was asked early in this thread.
