MOTM

Try the Moogerfooger MURF.  It is essentially an animated Filter Bank.
Sound quality and useability is superb.  

As for a programmable parametric equalizer, here's a concept from about 26
years ago:  http://www.wavemakers-synth.com/328rpg1.html :-)

You can do anything with the AudioEngine core, but it won't be analog.  I'd
propose that its greatest value is in modules that are difficult to do with
analog:  Granular synthesis, low noise vocoder with 30+ bands, long
echos/delays/tape loops, etc.
