Now, still there is a little hope for the 2044. Check the voltage at pin
15 (offset) and pin 13. If it would be -15 Volts, then the VCF would
shut down completely and no other CV would help.
But in fact I fear a dead 2044 too.

No. Single SSMs are available from Senso (
http://www.vintageplanet.nl/) for around 17 Euros. The seller "technologytransplant" on ebay sells
good ones as sixpack for 55 Euros!
