Is this power supply suitable for MB-FM?

This circuit offers a symmetrical DC output of 12V / 200mA ideal for applications such as powering Op-Amp circuits. The output is fully regulated and also short-circuit protected.

You can also increase the output current handling of the circuit up to 1A by adding two heat sinks to the regulator ICs and using a transformer with higher current ranting (up to a maximum of 1A

I can't tell if it is switching or not, but is the fact that it is designed for op-amps a clue?

Yes, it will work.

The circuit looks similar to these ones: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=bipolar_12v_psu

That is a simple half wave rectified PSU (it is linear, not switching). Nice thing is that you can use a standard AC/AC transformer wall wart to get +/- rails easily and you can also just slap a 5V vReg on the 12V line for the digital stuff. The thing about the half wave is that it needs more soothing since you ware just using half the waveforms (hence twice the hum)
