"- Most functions of the synthesizer work, but it needs servicing and calibration to the specifications in the included service manual. - The 4 octave keyboard has failed completely and does not work, it triggers the loudness contour (envelope generator), but does not track any pitch regardless of what key is pressed.
(I have read that this is a common problem, and that the keyboard bus bar contacts have failed and or a failure of a dual FET, N channel J-FET, NF510 )- It doesn't have the original knobs, I have installed suitable replacements. Moog knobs are available from Moog Music USA.
The Sonic Six features
2 VCOs (Osc A / Osc B) each with saw, triangle and pulse waveforms (with manually adjustable pulse width)

2 Mixers
Pink & white noise sources

Portamento,
Horizontally mounted pitch-bender wheel
EXT audio-in, CV-in for OSC, VCF and VCA
4-octave keyboard, mono - or duophonic
Keyboard tracking from 0% to 100%, allowing for micro-tonal steps
S-trigger multi-pin Cinch-Jones connection for Gate and CV control or a MIDI to CV converter
Built-in speaker
Portable eye catching synthesizer design in a suitcase
The Sonic Six has the classic Moog diode ladder filter.
Few units were made, so it has high collectability value.
The Moog Sonic Six is a very special, unique instrument, it is an analog monster, capable of many spectacular, weird sounds and often out of this world, self-generating rhythms and soundscapes, (even without the keyboard working!)
Included is:
- printed copy of the service manual
- printed copy of operations manual
- 12 x 18 inch photocopy enlargements of the 10 schematic diagrams from the service manual
- a CD ROM of the service manual
- the original grey power cable"
