I can't see anything in the A-118 circuit that suggests it would not 
work with +/-15V supplies. However, as a general rule I would 
recommend that anyone who wants to do this checks with Doepfer first, 
on a module-by-module basis, just to be sure, as there are some 
modules that will definitely *not* be happy with +/-15V supplies. 
(The '381 and '382 chips used in some modules will be destroyed if 
run at +/-15 volts - modules using them include at least A-126, A-
130, older A-131 & A-134).
