"- 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 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!)
