You can find a video covering the Sonic V previously posted here.
"Super-rare Moog MuSonics Sonic V synthesizer from 1972! This is #96 out of only 100 made and the only one I’ve seen with a front panel overlay that differs slightly than others I’ve seen (which, admittedly, is not many and not at all in-person). It’s actually more in the aesthetic style of a VI, as far as that particular detail is concerned.The elusive predecessor to the Sonic VI was designed by Gene Zumchak, who also designed the 960 Sequencer, 961, and 962 modules. According to advertising literature, it was “designed for the music educator” and features “ring modulation, microtonal keyboard scaling, two-note keyboard capability, and extended modulation resources”.
The sounds this thing can make are absolutely insane. For those of you who are in to noise, sound effects, and sound design — this is a formidable and wildly entertaining beast. It is capable of some really beautiful, melodic sounds, as well, so it’s not just for pure craziness. It’s a unique instrument not often seen out in the wild and only in the collection of distinguished collectors, studios, and synth aficionados. A rare chance to grab an incredibly rare instrument!
Just serviced with the following:
