It's the Korg custom VCF/VCA called NJM2069AD.  As used in DW6000, 
DW8000, DSS-1.

I'm looking at SIX of them in my DW6000 as I type and I recently Moog 
Slayed my Poly 800 and its a single one of these chips.

No it's not this one.

The Korg NJM2069AD chip has simultaneous 12dB/oct AND 24db/oct 
outputs but Korg only use the 24dB/oct output!

It's an excellent sounding filter too.

Cheers
