Hi,
the psu's current rating can be higher without problems. But if the
voltage rating is exceeded, you may fry your synth. 
So the voltage MUST match (and I'd definitely go for a voltage regulated
psu), and the current specified is the minimum the psu must be able to
supply.

Happy soldering & good luck
