It's really two different things completely - I doubt these modules have much
more in common than a similar name.<<

I won't be caught without a parametric EQ next to my synth. They are great
for fine tuning. But triple bandpass filters and fixed filter banks are
better for drastic sound changes. In fact, the Polyfusion modular had both a
3 band Variable Formant Filter (freq, Q, level) and a 5 band Parametric EQ
module. None of the parameters were voltage controllable though.
