Eventually in your DIY Synthesizer journey, you’ll come across a situation when you’ll have to convert between uF, nF and pF.
Paper and electrolytic capacitors are usually expressed in terms of uF (microfarads). Mica capacitors are usually expressed in terms of pF (picofarads). In between a pF and a uF is an nF which is one-one thousands of a uF. Converting back and forth between uF, nF
and pF is confusing, so below is a capacitor conversion chart.
