[sdiy] VCF caps in modern synths

[Mike Bryant]

Hehe.  I remember I built a Moog ladder filter using 47nF X7Rs in the early 1980s and the capacitors were so bad back then it actually killed the Q so you couldn't get the thing to self-oscillate no matter how hard you tried.   I expect Behringer use newer versions in their Model D and get the right sound nowadays.

why? If you like the sound of a filter that uses a certain (in this case “whatever” ) cap, why would you hope that manufacturers use something else? If you don’t like the sound, that is something different. Oddly, when I think of an SH-101 I think of something that is almost too stable.
