Capacitor Selection

Capacitor Selection

2007-07-08 by synthwick

I'm getting ready to build a few of your modules, and am in the
process of ordering parts. I hate to ask such a basic question, but
what kind of capacitors should I be using. I know that for
decoupling, ceramic is fine.
I'm planning on building the drum simulator, cynare, chime, and gate seq.
Should I use polyester film for pretty much everything else (like in
the oscillators and filter sections), or are some of the better
ceramic cap's good enough for these circuits.

Thanks again.

Best to use greencap, mkt, mks poly film types.
