Hello. That's a lab power supply. If you intend to do any kind of
eletronical prototyping work, you should have one. You won't regret
getting it. I am not familiar with the quality of that brand, but the
specs look ok.

However, It would be a bit inconvenient to power a synth system from a
lab power supply. You need to plug in cables for every time you want
to use it, and not confuse the + and - cables, etc. For daily use, I
would probably recommend something like the Doepfer A100 kit.
