There is 3 regulators actually. You mentioned the +12VDC regulator. There is also one for -12VDC and +5VDC.
It is designed to run from about 320mA at +15VDC. If you run it at +12VDC it will consume around 400mA and there will be greater demand on power up as you would be powering an entire additional power supply circuit, not a module.
Running from +12VDC there will be less noise immunity but since most euro rack power supplies are pretty quiet, you will likely not experience any problems. If your euro rack supply is noisy or out of spec you could have trouble.
The process of racking the 0-COAST is not for the electrically and mechanically challenged or for people that have been drinking heavily :guinness: therefore I cannot and will not officially condone it in any way. I will however be glad to offer my knowledge as a fellow modular synth enthusiast :goo:
The reason we do not market the 0-COAST as a module is because it is not a module. Make Noise already has a whole line of modules! :woggle: :bug:
