Last word on caps

[Hugo Haesaert]

Hi All !

But what determines the value/size of the cap used ?

NPO gets good marks from Bob, but is not readily available in 0.1 µF, 
the value mostly seen for multiplexed dac outputs .  And styrene caps 
only go to 56nF at my supplier .

The longer the hold time required, the larger the cap, the kbd/SH cap 
of the Roland System 100 is huge .  Otoh, my MKS80 (it's fine Paul :) 
uses tiny ceramic discs for s/h caps (followed by TL064's, now why's 
that ?) .

Hmm...

Later .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
