[HAM] m111

[Schoem Scott]

my tubes were in the wrong spots so i fixed that and
now i have sound!  now the problem is that my bass
pedals are sustaining for some reason.  when i turn on
the organ, a bass note is playing and wont stop.  as i
hit a new bass pedal, the new note sustains and wont
stop.  what gives?  thanks for your advice by the way!
