Posted at January 21, 2006, 3:17 pm: I had a Sonic Six up until last year. I found that most of the reviews I read about it were largely false... usually written by people who had no experience with analog synths. It is a wonderful synthesizer... and can be used for anything that you would use an analog synthesizer for. Don't believe the tuning hype. Yes, it needs tuning. Analog synths need tuning. How much tuning it needs will depend on your particular keyboard... but... the tuning is worth it. It has, despite containing an early IC, a very discrete sound! It does not sound like a Moog, really... and despite having a SORT of ladder filter... it does not sound like it has a ladder filter. But, hey... it isn't all about the ladder filter. The Sonic Six is a great sounding synth regardless... if you like the early discrete sound. The Sonic Six is duophonic! And, the duophony is WONDERFUL. One of the few duophonic analogs. Yes, due to the duo-LFO, the Sonic Six is capapble of wacky noises. This is not a bad thing... this means it is POWERFUL! It is capable of a true diversity of noises, both musical and other. The direct-oscillators are not useless. They're actually great for flavoring the sound. You don't have to turn them all the way up. ; ) They're also good for use with modulars. The true ring mod is really nice too... and the direct out from that is also great. Aesthetically... at least in my opinion... you couldn't find a cooler looking synthesizer! The only negative factors concerning the Sonic Six: The AR envelope... SINGLE... is not very helpful. It is made of plastic. Some pots have off switches, and some don't... which might encourage you to break a non-off pot. It's nearly impossible to set the thing on a stand without a board... it was designed for table-top. (I think it fit atop my Wurlitzer, too) There is a giant interconnect inside of it that is lame at best... very problematic. It leads to pitch problems. If you have one oscillator that isn't tracking, for instance. Writing down patches is difficult due to the graphics. You have to remember your patch to really be able to recreate it. Overall, it's a wonderful synth... I mildly regret selling mine... except it's sale allowed me to get a Mini. Now that I have a Mini, I would like another Sonic Six again!The Hammond Novachord... the first commercially marketed synthesizer.
