[sdiy] 8bits, 10bits or12bits DAC for a midi2cv converter?

Exact !

On the other side this quantized effect can be musicaly very interesting...

If the DAC have a  10/12/16 bits resolution and be driven by a classic  7bits CC
value ( 128steps ) , this suppose the CPU to compute an interpolation to get all
in between steps values according to the DAC resolution , to avoid the steppy
effect. No a simple thing to implement, i think , specialy on small PIC chips...

In this case the best is to drive the filter ( or like) with  extended
resolution MIDI controlers ( MSB/LSB CC messages or 14bits PB ,etc..  ) and to
use a hi resolution DAC  at least with 12 bits DAC to keep steps as small as
possible...

Cheers,
