"the resolutions were chosen to try and match the sensitivity of the human nervous system to various parameters. For example, humans are very sensitive to pitch, so a higher resolution DAC might be used to drive an output that was intended to control pitch, e.g. 225e Note buss." I think you are incorrect on this one. The quote reads, "Their characteristics are selected to enable accurate representation of underlying perceptual parameters." Perhaps it means that the DAC and ADC resolutions are chosen based on the needs a user has, of representing any conceived sound. So basically, if I want to make a sound that resembles a dorsal fin coming into contact with a human face, the Buchla 200e has the ability to represent that accurately. So basically, they are my perceptual parameters.
