I have a custom circuit board designed specifically for this
called the Cynthia Euro'Dapter Card.

It has a combination of mechanical and electronic courtesies that
make my custom module adaptations to Modcan & Cynthia format a breeze!

They' work just fine for MOTM Panels as well!

It is 2x6 inch card with a pair of 12 volt regulators, and a 5 volt
regulator, and converts the board mounted 4-pin
MOTM/Blacet/Oakley/EFM/Encore power connector with (+/- 15 VDC) to the
Analogue Systems type power connector with (+/- 12 VDC and 5 VDC).

It also has power connectors for Doepfer, Analog Sys, Analog Sol,
Modcan, Serge, and Arrick  so it is really a universal module transporter
board.  I have about (4) fully assembled cards still in stock at $60.00
each (includes shipping in the USA).

They are fairly simple, but all the hard work is done for you!

I will try to get a page of pictures up quickly, and can provide any
number of these if you want to pre-order them.

(See, I read this list too! LOL!)

Best Wishes!

Cynthia

Well, a question becomes: why doesn't Paul use voltage regulators on his 
5v modules...

Also, why would *any* module manufacturer require more than one 'in' on 
the modules, having a +15, -15, +5, etc.

I'm sure power drain is one concern, but what about 'noise?'  Paul, 
what's your take on using voltage regulators all over a system?
