Thirty-five years after releasing the original Synthesizer Expander Module, Tom Oberheim has announced an updated version of his first instrument. The new SEM includes a MIDI interface, while retaining its old analog charm. It includes the same versatile 12 dB/octave filter design as the original along with dual oscillators, triangle LFO and a couple of simple ADR envelope generators.

RRP: $1000, available before christmas.

Red Bull Music Academy presentation in Boston of the new SEM on June 3, 2009.

Couldn't see anywhere on their site if the sliders were analog, optical or surface mounted - (AFAIK - optical = long life and surface mounted components tend to be more robust)
