Hi there,
 
I'm not 100% about this, but I'd imagine they are fixed bandwidth (ie 
preset frequency range) parametric eq controls, ie non-resonant 
filters: low shelf for low, band pass for middle and hi shelf for 
high.

A filter is basically parametric eq, but with resonance (positive 
gain at the cutoff frequency) that follows the cutoff frequency. 
Parametric eq can create the same kind of sounds as a filter, indeed 
it is a type of filter, but you try doing a sweep down all those 
knobs or faders!

While we're on the subject, does anyone know what kind of filter is 
used on the brass section? It must be low pass just cos of how it 
sounds and I'd imagine that it's less than 12dB/octave as it's fairly 
weak compared to many 12 or 24dB filters.

I do love those squelchy bass sounds it can make. Great sampled as a 
chromatic scale, recycled and played back on yer sampler via your 
fave sequencer for wicked sequences.

If anyone knows any better, please put me straight!
