I'm thinking about building on breadboard the basic SDSV Then playing with various filters and tweaks till I get the required result. Moog ladders can vary greatly in their sound depending on the components used. Given that the 2044 is of the ladder group of filters my guess is that a tweaked moog style could come very close. For the purists, no it wouldn't be an "original" SDSV but then again the original Prophet5 from Sequential was all SSM, the final version was all CEM
and I've played them both, they have their differences but they were both still Pro5's =)
cheers
