CEM3374 (http://www.synfo.nl/datasheets/CEM3374.pdf) is a dual VCO (pair with CEM3372 and you have a barebones two oscillator synth voice), but I don't think there's any (at least not classic) chip with more than two.And I have another question for the experts: does anyone know at least one chip that would contain six analog oscillators in one microchip? Not six chips, one for each voice, but all six true ANALOG oscillators in one chip.... I don’t remember this))
It might actually not even make much sense to try to cram more into a single package, especially if you're working with DIPs and thru-hole. Those are already both 18 pin DIPs and since there's quite a few support components required around most pins, you're probably not going to save meaningful amount of PCB footprint by trying to cram more into a single IC (kinda like you might use a bunch of dual opamps even if a quad was available, just because it makes your PCB routing easier; sometimes a quad might save space.. but often time it really doesn't).
