Technical handling The Synth Programmer was built to be used in a comfortable music studio environement. You can operate it under free skies of course. But please keep in mind, it uses electricity for proper operation and therefore is quite sensitive to water, drinks or other fluids.
You can use any ordinary 9 Volt DC powersupply to operate your controller. The connector should have Plus on it's center pin and Ground - sometime labeled as 'Minus' - on the outside. The Synth Programmer has a protection diode for not doing any harm if the polarity of the power supply is wrong, it just won't work. The current of the PSU should at least offer about 200 mA (=0.2 A).
