Power Supply and Joystick advice

Why don't you send Paul an extra $40 and get a spare set of rack rails? Then you can rear mount your power supply and have spaces on the back of your synth rack. Rear mounted supply give your system a more tightly packed with features type of look. You can use the extra spaces to mount blank panels with MIDI jacks from Kenton (for us who only want 1/4" to show on the from), making a "power from one cabinet to the next panel", or for patching some hard wired cv's from one cabinet to the next? Ignore this if it doesn't apply to your cabinet I guess. I am all for the 12 unit blanks (future use) and I am also against the MOTM logo all big on the blanks. Maybe as an option, but not a replacement. Just my opinion. On the joystick level, I am looking for the best way to drop the +15/-15v volts from the 900 PSU to +10/-10v or +5/-5v for joystick use. Which voltage do you guys recommend? I am thinking 10v due to my use of attenuators to limit the voltage range per axis. I know I can do it with diodes, but I want the absolute cleanest method for DIY. Any help would be appreciated. My design is an X/Y joystick with CV inputs. Thanks to JWBarlow for the schematics in the mail! I plan to build this one in a Frack-Rak panel because I have 2 empty frac-racks in my old cabinet that are somehow not filling up the way they used to? Strange phenomena in the studio. MOTMMOTMMOTMMOTMMOTMMOTM like a buddhist monks chant in the back of my head...in the car, at work, at the bank! how big will it get and how can I get the money soon?
