[sdiy] MIDI bass pedals update

[Peter Snow]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the info.  The oscillator circuits are not easily accessible - I will need to remove one of the keyboards and
all of the voice tabs before I can even see what's on there.  The solder side is visible but the component side is
completely hidden. It may be a few days before I can do that.  However, I will keep your info in mind and probably get
back to you if I have more difficulties.

Thanks again,

Peter
