Emu SSMs (was Re: [sdiy] A potential problem with a voice-assignable organ)

[Dan Snazelle]

i thought i had read that it was due both to VC resonance AND ease of use.

wasnt the ssm2040 a much more highly configurable filter (it could do more than just low pass) and as such not as
plug and play

but i could be wrong

thanks
