Sasha Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 What is the purpose of 6,8nF capacitors on SID module?Is it crytical to be styroflex 2.5% tolerance?I didnt find sugested caps so i take ceramic caps with greater tolerance (about 10%)It works but I`m worried how can it affect the SID?I also made optimised C64 supply. And in that case I should remove rectifiers and regulators from SIDs and Cores and jumpwire some pins? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 They're for the filters. There's a bunch of technical stuff easily found if you feel like googling it but the short version is this: The better the caps, the better the filters sound. Get the good ones, it's totally worth it, especially if you're into synthesis and need them to sit on a certain frequency or resonate at a certain level.

Sasha Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 OK Stryd, thanks. I will try to find better ones in that case. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilba Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I would also suggest 22nF capacitors for the 8580 and 6582 instead of 6.8nF.Seach for other posts about this topic, in short, 22nF will give a better frequency range with less stepping at the low end.

Sasha Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Cool, I`ll go with 22nF then. No need to experiment by myself.Thanks Wilba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
