The Intellijel Korgasmatron II does this as well, and it's made with 2164.
It is two independent filters, either of which can be any one of six
different filter modes, including 12dB LP and 12dB HP.  In fact, any pair of
12dB filters in series will do this.  Two bog-standard SVFs in series will
do this.  With a single 2164 quad VCA chip, they can both be controlled from
the same CV.  The only challenge with SVF design is to get them to
self-oscillate in a stable manner with low distortion.

A cascaded 4-pole filter (such as the Intellijel Dr. Octature) can also be
easily gain-blended to be a 12dB/12dB BP filter.  You simply add the second
(12dB) and fourth (24dB) outputs, and subtract two of the third (18dB)
outputs.  This is how we got the BP output on the Intellijel Atlantis.
