Well, I can of course be totally of, but the cap is really the integrator here.
The transistors will also act as buffers in a way...

Recall that an integrator can be created with a capacitor with a op-amp acting
as the virtual ground circuit, this is how the typhical exponential RC 
behaiviour is removed. With a state-variable filter with CV control you 
replaces
the resistor with a transconductance....

As I said, I haven't figured it out fully... cause when I had I would know
exactly all the details, and have a boatload of mods :)

Maybe I should do a small spice simulation with pole-zero locations to see how
it works. Anyone got a library of real transistor models for me... I only have
the spice and what I could find on the web....

Cheers,
Magnus
