is my configuration in my formant: 2 vco's, 2 filters, 2 adsr's, 
standard "dual" vca, 1 lfo, com. (i'm going to include 2 more small 
modules later...) how big should my powersupply be?? is 500mA enough??
thanks!

Sounds just about right. If you look at the original Format which had a 
similar configuration they used a power supply that was rated to 800mA and 
was meant to have headroom for expansion so 500mA should be okay.
