Subject description: Doublechecking that I should connect +/-15V to pins 4 and 8 on the TL074s

Hi. I am building the TH VCO-1. I'm pretty green.
In the schematics on Birth of a Synth it doesn't specifically show that Pins 4 and 8 on the TL072 get +/-15V.

Do they get power there? Should I just assume that pin 8 gets +15 and pin 4 gets -15?

I apologize if this is a stupid question.

Thanks.

And Happy Thanksgiving!!

Nevermind Embarassed I just made my down to fig. 2 where it's stated very clearly Laughing

I see you answered your own question but in the future, if you're ever unsure about what pin does what or where power goes on an IC, you can Google just about any data sheet in creation. For example:

Google: TL072 Datasheet

Will return an answer for you Very Happy

Thank you State Machine.

I'm familiar with googling for Datasheets, But I'm not totally confident with my schematic reading capabilities.

I knew that the TL072 needed +/-15V but I wanted to doublecheck that it wasn't receiving it in some sort of roundabout way Laughing

Thanks again
