Strych9 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I read in another post and found a link to a site with a cheap power supply for the MBFM. Unfortunatly they were out of stock but after a little searching on the site I found another one that is cheaper but has same spec.s I believe. Will this work for the MBFM Project? Will it be able to power my Core, OPL3 board and LCD all in one shot?http://www.skycraftsurplus.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=890
cimo Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 It s even overrated but usually switching power supplies are not advised for synthesizers due to the extra noise they could add, that doesn t mean it won t work or will create extra noise on the output, it only means that it could.Simone
nILS Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 It will work and it has lots of reserve for way more than one midibox (4 amps at 5V) but I'd say there's a 1,000:1 chance that specific PSU is pretty noisey.
Echopraxia Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 I recently just purchased this onehttp://www.skycraftsurplus.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1100It doesn't say switched but does not have the 5v 4a section.I have it and it seems like good build quality but I am no expert.I am planning on using it for an mbfm in the next month or two aswell. Hope I got a good one.If the one your thinking of getting works out let me know.

Strych9 Posted December 5, 2008 Author Report Posted December 5, 2008 If there is noise, is there a circuit I could add to reduce remove/reduce it? I am somewhat of a novice when it comes to electronics.
