I need to buy a cheap power supply

I need to buy a cheap power supply

2005-05-14 by Kris Bishop

Can anyone suggest the specs to look for and where I could possibly 
buy one.

I had a 200mA one for testing, my PCB's for the original supply were 
rinted the wrong size so cant use them. Got all my modules working 
with the only problem being my power supply cannot handle all the 
modules at one time, pitch tracking etc is terrible as a result.

I use switch mode PSU's, 2 seperate 15Vdc units, one for +15, one for -15. Derive 5Vdc with 7812 from the one used for +15V.
(farnell: 2 times 494-9638 or similar)
Farnell also has triple output PSU's (+15, -15, +5) for about 85 euro's...

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
