Moog Sonic six knobs

[tomg]

This just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything you read/hear. Gene
was/is? a list member for a while and we talked about the S6 several times.
He  told me ( he may have just been shy?) that he had very little to do with
the S6.

Not that I would slight Gene even a little, he is a brilliant man. It's
just.... he told me what he told me. As a matter of  fact he was
surprised to learn that the S6 even had a diode ladder in it to start with.
However the ua726 part is true AFAIK. If  Bob actually said this....he
may just remember it a little differently....sometimes it happens to us all.
I know Gene still monitors the list from time to time. If I got it wrong he
will probably straighten me out and I'll apologize if I'm incorrect.
