All early Akais samplers (S612, S700, S900, S950) used switched 
capacitor filters.
A SC-Filter can (but must not) be very steep (e.g. 96db/Oct). It is not 
very easy to describe the sound. It sounds like a 12dB filter set to 
high resonance, but without the feedback sound (if you can imagine that).

Regarding the function. With a quick google I found a very nice 
explanation in german:

And another in english but not as good understandable and more mathematical:
