Can anyone recommend a good reference for understanding capacitor choice for the purposes of analog synthesis? I find that I'm comfortable picking parts for other components, but capacitors still baffle me. I understand the capacitance, voltage and lead pitch, but not why one should use one type vs another. Any help is appreciated.

Better still-order the book from Bob Pease directly and he'll send you an autographed edition! Mr. Pease is very good about answering email, even if he refuses to use Power Point for his lectures, and will answer you quickly. While not light reading, the Pease style of writing is highly entertaining. Even better is the Pease style of lecturing! Watch for him on nsc.com or just look at some of his articles in the archives.

This book should come with a disclaimer, "do not read when drowsy." A great book but not light reading. Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Schreiber <synth1@...> Immediately purchase "Troubleshooting Analog Circuits" by Robert A. Pease ISBN:0-7506-9184-0. Paul S.

While waiting for Bob's book, you might want to browse the following: http://www.indiemusicsite.com/synth/dave/articles/capacitor.html This is written by Harry Bissell and is quite informative. It's also an "easy read". Cheers, George ----- Original Message -----

Doesn't Rane also have something about this on their web site? --- In motm@yahoogroups.com, <groovyshaman@s...> wrote: > While waiting for Bob's book, you might want to browse the following: > > http://www.indiemusicsite.com/synth/dave/articles/capacitor.html > > This is written by Harry Bissell and is quite informative.

They need to find a better name for the page than SyntheTek (sic). I assume you are building someone else's boards and you are trying to figure out what parts to order. The best thing to do is to study the parts lists on Larry's site (http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/oakley.htm and http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/cgs/cgs.htm). Also, look over all of you MOTM documentation and see what parts Paul has specced and in what situations he is using those parts in. You will learn a lot! --Shemp --- groovyshaman@... wrote: > While waiting for Bob's book, you might want to > browse the following: > > http://www.indiemusicsite.com/synth/dave/articles/capacitor.html > > This is written by Harry Bissell and is quite > informative.
