For anyone who doesn't know, SEM is the Oberheim Synthesizer Expander
Module, the earliest Oberheim product. You remember - those little
white boxes that were designed to hook up to a MiniMoog to expand its
sounds, and later were mounted 4 to a box with a keyboard to become
the Oberheim 4 Voice.

The filter in the SEM is exactly what you are asking for - a LP/BP/HP
+ Notch filter, with a 2 pole (12db/oct slope) response. You can
smoothly change from one mode to another by turning a single knob.
For a MOTM version, it sure would be cool to have voltage control of
that knob ;>)
