Lookup the chip they are using for oscillators (M5232). It was made for PC computer sound and Korg basically added a filter software based modulation to it. This oscillator chip does the frequency dividing for multiple voices.

Google Poly-800 mods and you will find a wealth of things like the simple Moogslayer mod and the Hawk-800 upgrade kit: http://patrioticduo.tripod.com/hawk800/ and also http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=korgpolyex800

a single osc, with freq/dividing to produce divisions/harmonics.
