Remember the AM4000, ARP 2500 clone? Well the AM2000 is a replica of the classic E-MU Modular.
"Overview The AM 2000 Modular Synthesizer is a replica of the original E-mu Systems Modular synthesizer that was manufactured in California by E-mu Systems from 1972 to 1980. Over 125 were built, and the last model was given to Scott Wedge when he left E-mu Systems in 1993 - he still has it.
The modules were updated with new circuit ideas during their life time, and Dave Rossum exploited SSM chips in many of the later module revisions from 1976 onwards. Some of the circuits are unique designs, not available from any other manufacturer. For example the Resonant Filter and the Universal Active Filter (an improvement over the ARP 1047 filter show cased in the ARP2500 Modular)."
What's cool is it's almost complete! Title link takes you to more info on The Emulator Archive.
