I am at the point where I should consider buying a another power supply for my modular. At the this point in time, I don't have any modules that require 5V, nor are there any MOTM modules currently available that I am considering that require 5V (I already have a MIDI-to-CV converter). I'm wondering if I should get a triple supply that provides 5V or another supply that only provides -15/15+?? Is there any disadvantage in adding a separate 5V supply at a later time?? Further, since it isn't used to power the signal path, is there a disadvantage in using a 5V switching supply?? They are much less expensive than 5V linear supplies. Also, while I'm typing, does anyone know why the Blacet modules use such a massive amount of bypass capacitance?? The MiniWave and TimeMachine have ~270uF and ~320uF respectively, using two 100uF caps and a bunch of 10uF caps, with very few smaller caps. Does anyone know why that is??
