Doepfer

I had a custom case made up for the 650 and for now I am using a +/- 15 VDC
linear power supply I had on hand as well as a 5VDC regulator board I picked
up from synthdotcom and modified for this.  so it is a little bit of a
project but the module is worth it.  I have an MFOS dual power supply I'd
like to use for this but it doesn't seem to be working properly right now
:(
