Details:
"In fact it's a modern version of the Minimoog with the addition of programmable patch memories, oscillator sync, ring modulation, four envelopes, and three LFOs. Each of the three oscillators allow summing of the waveforms, which means you can select triangle, sawtooth and variable square waveforms (with PWM) simultaneously for a huge sound! In addition to the signature 24db cascading Moog ladder filter, the SE-1 also has a 12db two pole filter that replicates the Oberheim SEM filter. What this amounts to is the SE-1 can sound identical to a Minimoog (or an SEM) with far more modulation possibilities."

Moebius

Another from Elhardt on AH:
"A while back I seem to remember somebody wanting to gather a list of recordings the Serge synth was used on. The MP3 below is from the 1979 record called Moebius. I'm clearing up online space, so get it now before I take it down. This piece uses a Serge, Oberheim 4 Voice, Minimoog and Violin."

Kraft and Alexanders Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture and Nutcracker Suite

Via Elhardt on AH:
"I want to clear up some online space, so before I pull down the mp3 files below, if you want to hear or get them, do it soon. They are from Kraft and Alexanders long out of print 1977 recording of the Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture and Nutcracker Suite, done on an Arp 2600, Arp Odyssey, and Arp Pro Soloist, therefore making them good Arp synth demos. The 1812 mp3 is some excerpts taken from the much longer recording that was too big for me to put the original online."

I grabbed them. Title link takes you there.
