The Doepfer Kits are only 12V. They do not do a 15V version.
Doesn't need to be linear nowadays, technology has improved substantially and now switch-mode supplies are used in sensitive areas like-medicine and audio.
My Heavy-duty supply is available in 12V @ 3.7A per rail and 15V @ 3.0A per rail, is fully self-contained and ready to go. Universal voltage :)

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.
