This is the one recently posted in this video. Some details from the listing:

"Korg 800Dv or univox maxi korg ( both are same unit as this was licensed to univox for production in USA . This analog synthesiser was produced in 1975 it was the first genuine duo-phonic synthesiser produced. It has separate controls for each voice ( upper and lower). These are quite rare in Australia and I only know of only 2 others in the country both of which I have owned, ( I operate the Facebook group dedicated to this rare model of korg).

(I am Selling this rare synth as I have currently have 3 units).

The sound of these has to be heard to be believed. This is probably the only mono synth that can take it up to the minimoog for 12 rounds then deliver the knockout blow with ear shattering distorted ring modulation , and still have a voice to spare,

As used by vangelis and kitaro.. The korg 800dv is similar in construction to Korgs first synthesizer the minikorg or 700. However the 800dv has more than 2 times the amount of circuitry. And that's 1970's discreet oscillators and filters for an immense sound
