    Thanks for this…… had no idea they’d done a course on the SEM. In late 70’s, when I was age 17 or so, Long Beach City College in California offered 2 fantastic Electronic Music Production courses……. I moved there from Baltimore just for those courses; they were possibly the best-equipped in the country……. I grew up with ARP’s head of Research & Development, was lucky to get time on the 2600 he’d bring on weekend visits.
    In the college’s lab:
    – Moog modular, model unknown but close enough to Keith Emerson’s beast
    – ARP Odyssey
    – Mini Moog
    – Oberheim 4-Voice, essentially 4 SEM’s ganged with a keyboard
    – Eventide Clockworks 16-step sequencer
    – TEAC 4-track reel-to-reel with Simul-Sync (model 3340s I think)
    – 16-in 4-out mixing console
    Considering the prices on such gear in those early days, and it was a community college with gear the universities didn’t have…… I was pretty lucky to have heard about it. My uncle, a lifelong big-band jazz drummer, had a Mini Moog I spent too many days and nights with 🙂
    The Oberheim 4-voice and even just the SEM were definitely unique for subtractive synthesizers….
