The Prophet-10 equalizer uses a Baxandall type circuit. It looked vaguely
familar and I found the following in the 1976 National Audio Handbook:

The circuit has been adapted, the pots replaced with a discrete 'digital
pot' made out of 4016 switches and resistors.  Some of the values are
identical.  So perhaps the Sequential Circuit designers used it as a
reference.
