[sdiy] +15 -15 DC Power supply, adding +5 DC

[harrybissell at wowway.com]

well then how much of the +15V supply do you have left ?

You could measure the current that you are drawing now, and see if you have
enough surplus.  

I'd guess that a midi converted would not use more than 100 - 200mA

Is the converter a commercial unit, if so they should be able to tell you
what the current draw is.  If its a DIY, is there a schematic available ?
