Hey! I'm building my first rack. I really need some help. I have an extra 60hp case sitting around that I'm using for a Maths, Bitbox micro, Disting mk4 and something else. I don't know yet. I need a power source but I'm not sure what to get. I'm completely new to this. I'm working with a moog grandmother, dfam, mavis and a bsp. Any help or suggestions of better modules to get for that setup would be highly appreciated.

i think you will be better served in either the modular Reddit or modwiggler beginner forums. I'm still very much figuring things out myself and not the best resource.

your answer will change depending on what kind of music you enjoy making and how you like making it (like are you a keyboardist or more of a sequencer programmer.)

I'm building a big mess of jack of all trades rack since i really like everything from techno to ambient and really anything with a pronounced symth soundscape.

Thanks though. I could have used that info last year, shortly after I got my Tip Top Happy Ending kit and didn't realize that the rating on the PSU module is TWICE the included wall wart is rated for. I was overloading what I thought was a perfectly fine power supply because the wall wart is only rated for 1000mA but the module can handle 2000mA. I thought that was pretty poor execution on their part. Who knows who else is running this thing too hot because they grew off of that kit?

you should leave headroom on all rails? 25-30%
