Re: [ElektorFormant] I need to buy a cheap power supply

2005-05-19 by Kris Bishop

I bought one from RS that has +15 and -15 v with 1.5 amps on each. It's tiny 
and only cost \ufffd40. works a treat and now my synth is up and running, all 
tuned and working with a digital interface which I can run from the PC or 
any of my other synths. Man it sounds good.

One thing though I built the multi 12db filter and the results are rubbish, 
is this something wrong that I have done or is it the general result. No 
high squeeks from the high Q and low Cutoff.

Calibrated several times
