soory for the late reply - I have had some family issues regarding
the health of two of my good friends, my dad and my dog.
I have currently 3 different power supplies for my system:
two Doepfer's, which run all of the +/- 12 volt stuff (analogue
sol/sys, Doe and my homebrew stuff) and one linear Condor
+/-15 volt supply for the Blacet, Buchla, MOTM and Oakley stuff - it
will also power the Wiard Borg when I get that.
The 15 volt has a current load mlimit of about 1.5 amps and the
two doepfer's together get me to about 1.2 amps - plenty of
power for synthesizer modules.
Yes, all of them MUST be linear (constant current) instead of
switchers (interrupted current).
I already have other +/- 15 volt and +/-12 volt supplies, which are
smaller (less current capabilities) that I will in time put in the
expansion module so that that can run by itself and be taken
around (the main unit wieghs WAY too much to be called
portable).
Right now, all of the supplies are layi8ng on shelf that the
system sits on (there's an extra 9 inches back there. I am
planning on putting them all in one neat aluminum chassis box
shortly (I've got the box, but I've become lazy! at that point, Im
probably going to have a row of screw terminals to connect the
various power cables from the rows of modules.
It all works great - I suggest you tie the grounds together of the
various units at the supplies and do not rely on the patch cords
to make that common connection.
Hope this helps,
Peter
