Substituting Film Cap for Electrolytic in ElectroVibe

[micpoc]

Thinking about getting an ElectroVibe board and I already have a bunch of Wima 1uF film caps (and some MLCCs as well) and am curious if using them instead of all the 1uF electrolytic caps would present any problems.

1µF film caps should be fine to use in the signal path. But in the LFO section, I'd stick with the electrolytics.

Cool, so keep caps 7, 8, and 9 as electrolytics. Why there?

I'd keep the caps as electrolytic in LFO section because the LFO section is not directly associated with the signal path and films may not behave with the same charge/discharge rate as electrolytics. It's a personal preference. You may want to socket those three (C7, C8 & C9) to see/hear if there is any difference.
