Cgs synth

I don't actually measure my module's current use. It all depends on activity
etc, and + and - supply lines are rarely balanced, so figures when given,
are not really accurate.

That said, some modules draw next to nothing. You will probably get away
with all running on a 1 amp supply. Monitor the power rails. If they start
to droop, you will know you need more power. Also, if you start hearing the
VCOs though other modules when they are not patched, again, the supply is a
bit stressed. Make sure you have big enough heat sinks.
