Sorry Guys....  (gotta go here...)

Yeah I have one (suggestion) ... BUY a power supply... surplus for about
$20-25
Linear supply, like a PowerOne or similar brand.  Get a +/-15V @
800mA or 1A....

Or get one with +5V, +/-15V... a little more expensive, and heavier but
easier to find.  You can later make +/- 12 from that supply if you need it.

See www.mpja.com as one possible source...

Then build a synth module like a simple LFO, noise source, etc... to start.

A lot of newbie troubles come from a bad or marginal power supply. Its nice
to know that if theres a problem, it ain't the supply.

You might consider a module kit for starts....
