Update: via lars on FB: emu patch panel. You can see the classic emu modular blue.

"For sale is a one of a kind Oberheim FVS Four Voice System SEM analog synthesizer. These are the original vintage ones. Custom black face rack mounted. I believe there may be only 8 black faces out there?? Very very rare. An oberheim tech who built these told me these were once part of an Eight Voice System. There is no keyboard, it's four SEMs racked, but fully patched out, modular style interface with 1/4" jacks (full patch points listed below). Awesome sound, these vintage SEMs have their own sound and it's a little more raw than the newer ones. With the modular patching this makes it much more flexible than having to use the keyboard. You can run separate sequencers in each voice, stack them as one four voice mono synth, or split them in 2/2 3/1 combinations, or play it as four separate mono synths. I've always wanted to build a nice case for this, but never found the time. I leave that project tho the future owner. This was serviced two years ago and is fully functional, lightly used in my smoke free home studio.

Patching from left to right:
Mod Out, Mod In, VCO CV1 in, CV2 in, VCO2 CV1 in, CV2 in, Gate Env1 in/out, Env2 in/out
VCA IN, LFO IN/OUT, VCF CV1/CV2, MOD IN, FREQ, and 5 Multi jacks. Ext. in, voice volume and panning is on the back of the synth."
