I couldn't agree more!  Standard subtractive synthesis has nearly always been done in a crude way - with one filter.  It's like doing surgery wearing oven mitts.  It's a big reason why analog synths and even VA's have a "sound" - a desired sound, yes, but a sonic signature that's unmistakable across manufacturers and models.  In my opinion, it's a travesty that the one instrument that should have the most sophisticated EQ has none!

How about a digital motm module with say 8 adjustable bands, excessive boost/cut, adjustable Q, with parallel shift of band frequencies under 1v/octave control?  Storage/recall of all settings, too?  What do you think?
