CEM
Some of the folks that tinkered with Doepfer assembly kits in the 80s,
have cabinets repleted with Curtis chips. They're in the same situation
as Dave Smith. AFAIK Doepfer doesn't use CEM anymore, Google found
German links like "High-end without CEM" (translated), about Dieter
Döpfer. I didn't read it.
The Doepfer Dark Energy used the CEM 3394 filter, which is why it's been
discontinued -- get one whilst you can. Unavailability of this chip will
affect some current Doepfer A100 modules as well.
DSI synths don't use traditional CEM chips, but a custom production run
done a few years ago specifically for Dave Smith.
To the OP: there are emulations of Rolands out there, how good they are
I wouldn't know, but running VSTi's doesn't necessarily mean running
Windows -- many work fine with a VST host running under Wine and Wine-asio.
