I just ordered a MIDI keyboard controller and just noticed by looking at the manual online, that it doesn't come with a power supply. They state that you have to buy a seperate power supply if you want to use it as a live controller as opposed to using it with your computer using USB to power it.
The specs they give are 12vdc, 250-300ma.
My question is, will a power supply that is rated at 12vdc, 1700ma work. The manufacturer actually sells one for the keyboard rated at 1000ma in their online store.

If your supply is "regulated", then you're probably just fine with that one.

| 250-300ma is the minimum requirement. Higher specs on a power supply assure that you meet these requirements (they denote the amount of power available to draw on----not 'over' power). Be sure, though, that you have the proper polarity (tip positive or tip negative) as specified by the keyboard. |

Thanks guys. That's what I thought.
Hard to believe they sell the keyboards without the power supply. But the 2 different brands I was considering both came without power supplies.
