Polyfusion ? What Polyfusion ??

Just to clarify: My SSM-style VCF for MOTM is not just a clone of the
SSM chip, or of any existing circuit that uses the SSM2040 chip. While
it's capable to emulate the standard 2040 application (as in Prophet 5
etc.), you cannot emulate some of my filter's features with any circuit
built around an original SSM2040. (You could, if you had access to
an internal node of the chip.)
Believe it or not, I spent weeks of Spice simulation and testing to
make that circuit what it is. A good deal of that was to explore
things that belong to "forbidden conditions" according to the SSM
publications (and which therefore was avoided by all manufacturers
that used the chip back then).
