I'll throw out an idea. The only digital synth I own is an Emu 
Ultraproteus
with its Z-Plane filters. These are 14-pole parametric filters that 
allow them
to mimic a wide variety of filters (moog, flange, phase, etc.). Now I 
realize
that controlling such a beast without a computer would be difficult, not
to mention the cost of something like this. But it seems even a single
pole parametric with continuous voltage control from cut (notch?) to
boost  (bandpass?) and VC of Q and frequency would be very interesting.
Several of them cascaded could produce some interesting responses.

Does anyone know of such a creature? Were there any modulars that
had such a filter?
