How much of what we want can the Arduino do?

This article is a continuation of Using the Arduino for electronic music #1, and picks up where that post left off.

By now we have discussed:

It’s now time to dig into the abilities of the Arduino, particularly it’s ability to handle analog to digital conversion, and digital to analog conversion. Having done that, we can compare expected performance to the specifications listed in: The digital representation of modular synthesizer signals, and we can determine what an Arduino (and by extension the Euroduino eurorack synth module) is good for in electronic music.

Disclaimer: I’m not an engineer, and some of this material approaches the speculative. Hope it is as useful to you as it is to me, and please feel free to comment on any errors or omissions you find.

Over the last few months I’ve been studying the
features of different microprocessor families to determine which are most suited to electronic music and synthesis. The big winner so far is the $19.00 Teensy 3.2: But that’s not what this post is about.
