The Stunning Synth That Moog Did Not Want

This is the story of the Moog Sonic Six, an American synthesizer from 1972. While branded Moog, Bob Moog had little design involvement and was even opposed to it. Through a series of both unfortunate and fortunate events, Engineer Eugene Zumchak still did get to realize the Sonic Six. Though never as popular as the Minimoog and mostly used for education, this synthesizer is one of the few I dare to call "beast", and try to do my best to prove so in the sound examples. It has numerous outstanding features, which make it special even 50 years afters its creation.

@AlexBallMusic 2 года назад

Beautiful video, thank you. I was feeling sad that the Sonic VI I borrowed never fired up and was given a fatal diagnosis, but this answered many questions I had about its sound and architecture. I suspected odd rhythms were possible from the two LFOs and they are! It's an interesting quirk that Gene Zumchak (aka "Zummy") left Moog only to wind up working there again by happenstance, and so left again! Also, there are Moog branded Sonic Vs too, so some of those must have carried over from the take over. Another mystery is the design of a duophonic analogue keyboard. ARP patented it for the Odyssey and later 2600s, but it existed on the MuSonics synths and the EML synths too. When I asked Dave Friend of ARP about it, he couldn't recall who discovered it, but remembered kicking himself that it had been staring them in the face the whole time. So that's another interesting one, who actually figured that out?

@Hainbach 2 года назад

Oh that is intriguing! I would never thought a duophonic keyboard to be special until I played the Sonic Six and realized from when it came and what it allows.

@AlexBallMusic 2 года назад

@@Hainbach Yes, it allows for great shenanigans on triple oscillator synths like the 2600 and System 700 main cab as you can tune two oscillators to a fifth and then play the third oscillator separately for some quirky triads. Works great if you slap it in the spring reverb. The only down side is that the Odyssey is always duophonic and you sometimes get odd behaviour if your playing overlaps by a tiny amount. Or it can jump to a voltage in between the two, which can be serendipitous, but more often than not leads to a bum note that you didn't play!

I would like to thank you so much for the quote from my book SYNTH GEMS 1. I am glad that I could help to educate your audience about this contentious and often misunderstood, but wonderfully unique, synthesizer. The section of SYNTH GEMS 1 on the Sonic Six has detailed photos of the synth's layout, some interesting trivia (on some units, the front panel schematic didn't match the internal signal routing!), and also a direct comparison with the similar and even rarer Sonic V, which we also photographed for the book. Best wishes from all of us at Bjooks!

One of my bandmates back in the early 80's had one. It was thunderous through a PA system! Nice portability with the case built in. I had a chance to play with it at home and tried creating a multitrack by bouncing between two cassette recorders. It worked, but of course the noise kept multiplying. Nobody thought that was desirable back then. Come to think of it, there was a certain "Hainbach" vibe to it!

@bobparker8294 2 года назад

My first synth was the predecessor of this one: The Sonic V by Musonics. It was nearly identical in every way except that it had an "Art Deco" walnut cabinet instead of the folding cabinet of the Sonic VI. It was an amazing instrument and the perfect synth to cut one's teeth on. I have a whole bunch of synths today, but I kind of miss the Sonic V. It will always have a special place in my heart.

@synthpro 2 года назад

Nice demonstration! As much as I love the sound of these I have to say these were the worst built moog synths, circuit boards are held in with clips and components all face the interface panel so makes them tough to service. Most of the units I have had through my shop struggle with circuit board contamination causing internal shorts between tracings or calibration failures. What is really cool is this is the only moog synth I know of to use a fully discrete ladder filter like the minimoog, (no 3046 transistor array chips for upper/lower sections of the filter). This was a repackaged Musonics Sonic 5 but since Musonics bought moog out, they had the rights to the transistor ladder filter where as the earlier sonic 5 had a diode ladder filter.

@Nilspils73 2 года назад

Thank you Hainbach for another excellent video! A little added info on the Sonic Six - it received an update at some point during its life. The original Zumchak diode ladder filter was replaced by a Moog filter. This first version is distinguishable from the later by a couple of changes to the case; grey plastic versus the later black, and fewer slots in the keyboard panel (probably added to make it more rigid/stable). I used to own one from the first generation, and the filter was decidedly different from a Moog filter. More akin to a Roland System-100 filter I would say. In any form, the Sonic Six is a lovely example of an early "off the wall" synthesizer design in the same way as the SH-5 or DV800. Later instruments usually have a less wild and more «conform» architecture.

@geoffk777 2 года назад

I had one of these in High School and learned synth on it. It's great for random noises, but the pitch stability is terrible, so it's marginal for any kind of regular music. This also makes the duophonic capability relatively useless for chords. The biggest flaw is the single AR envelope, which is shared by the filter and VCA. This makes it very difficult to produce any kind of complex sound, like a convincing brass. If you're into atonal, esoteric noises, than this is great--the Moog equivalent of a VCS3. The two LFOs let you set up complex patterns, including a fairly convincing Sample and Hold emulation. The Ring Mod does clangorous noises and even "robot" vocoder emulations from the Extermal Input. There are lots of unusual routings, such as envelope to LFO rate. And the "Direct Output" section lets you do unfiltered drones with the turn of a knob. The overall sound isn't nearly as fat as a MiniMoog, and the pitch problems make it a poor choice for conventional leads and basses. But if you want weird noises that a Mini can't make, than it's an interesting avant-garde choice. On the plus side, it's very portable, and the built-in speaker lets you demo and play it anywhere. It brings back a lot of memories for me, but I don't miss it. It's not terribly useful for most musicians.

@JayKaufman 2 года назад

Hmm. I'm sitting here and listening to the sounds Hainbach is generating and thinking about a million different ways I could use this in a musical context. Maybe the better description would be that it wasn't the instrument for you? I think it's super fat sounding, has bass deeper than the Mariana Trench and the leads scream at you like an electric guitar. I'm listening on studio monitors too. It kind of reminds me of the MS-20 in a way in terms of its vulgarity. If you're looking for that traditional Moog sound, I agree that this synth isn't it. This is much more gritty and distorted sounding.

@geoffk777 2 года назад

@@JayKaufman Again, you have to realize that playing regular music on it has issues. The overall pitch drifts. More problematic, the oscillator scaling isn't perfect, so the oscillators will be in tune in the middle and wildly beating at the ends of the keyboard. It's just not a great instrument for conventional playing. I admit that I would have preferred a polysynth back then, but even as a mono lead synth, it isn't ideal. Of course, I still had a lot of fun with it, and if you find one at a good price, than you'll probably enjoy it too. But a Behrenger Model D or Poly D would be a better choice for lead or bass playing.

@JayKaufman 2 года назад

@@geoffk777 I think you and I are approaching this from different views. The quirks of it are what make it enjoyable for me. I have plenty of things in my studio that struggle with tuning, but that adds to their charm. Heck, Rhodes are infamous for drifting out of tune and they're a mainstay in how many hundreds of thousands, if not millions of tunes? Besides, what is 'conventional music' really? Just because it didn't work for your style of playing and the music you play or like to play, doesn't mean it doesn't work for people like myself or Hainbach. I think you're being a tad uppity here. You prefer the MiniMoog (which also has its own tuning issues) - and that's totally fine. I own the Behringer Model D and enjoy it, but I would love to have one of these much more because the sound is that much more unique to my ears. I tend to love instruments that are quirky and stand out instead of fitting in. :)
