[sdiy] another year, another day, another transformer request

[Todd Sines]

Maybe I should back up and list my full needs:

I want to power both the CMU800R and 5-10x System 100M modules.. *AND* the Beatnic.jp interface (9V) from one supply.

E-Licktronic tackled the M-191 Supply  here
http://www.e-licktronic.com/home/4-m-191-x.html

And recommended this toroidal transformer at Mouser
TRIAD VPT30-1670 

This densely layered schematic shows at the bottom left the +/-15V and +5V from the transformer; the toroidal above could drive the +/-15V from the taps, then use the 7805 to get my +5 for the CPU portion of the CMU.

Am I missing something?

The reason for the CMU:  With a Beatnic.jp CMU800-MIDI converter, it can also function as a MIDI/DIN Sync converter, plus 8-channel MIDI-CV converter, a pile of chip-tune style square wave oscs, a low-rent 606 drum module, and I've tapped the supplies to drive my System 100M off it to boot. And I have two -- 1 220V, 1 120V.
