12V input to +12V/+6V/-6V/GND output

Hi everyone, I was searching online on how to make convert 12VDC to +12V/+6V/-6V/GND VDC outputs and found out this forum so I'll ask for help here.

I currently have this circuit:
(circuit attached)

My idea is to supply the entire circuit through a DC connector, connecting to it a 12VDC adapter.
So I need a circuit which can convert the 12V to +12V (VCC_I) and +6V/-6V (VCC_P/VCC_N), to replace the box on the left of my circuit.

First of all, is this possible?

If it is, can anyone make me a quick schematic of the circuit I need to this conversions?

Best regards to all

There are a couple ways to accomplish this - but I'm a little fuzzy on what it is you're actually trying to do. There might be better ways to accomplish this if you give more details of what it is you're trying to do.

But if you insist on doing whatever you're doing this way you can
1. buy a hybrid converter that changes 12V to 6 and -6
2. design a converter that changes 12V to 6 and -6
3. use a LM127 to go from 12 to 6V and use a 555 to convert 6 to -6 - but this is a pretty wimpy supply line, but might work if you're just powering a couple op-amps.
