Thanks elgauchoandres for the suggestion. Would you elaborate please? I'm not sure where you are suggesting I place them or the polarity. Are you suggesting additional protection diodes beyond D2 and D4 I already have? I have no problem adding some extra protection.
Let's see, I'm very bad explaining things in plain english, so I think better recommend you see the page 9 of the datasheet (here: http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM117.pdf) I know for experience that the LM317 is a gentleman a little bit "sensible"
Good work, I'm a big admirer of the Mr. Steiner synths, who knows? maybe some modules will be built here in Barcelona. Best wishes to you and Mr. Steiner.
Maybe you could add the usual diode between in and out of the regulators, a little bit of protection doesn't hurt and is cheap.
