Aries 300 Modular

Aries Modular Synthesizer System 300 For Sale. Meticulously Refurbished by Aries experts - we've probably seen more Aries systems than anyone other than Aries! 

We paid our tech for the 43 hours of skilled vintage synth tech time plus parts required to get this unit up to our high standards = working like new again. This work included fixing any problems, cleaning and servicing all modules inside and out and rebuilding its keyboard. We also rebuilt the power supply as a preventative measure, replacing capacitors and diodes. This investment and the perfect working order of this vintage beauty is of course reflected in its price. 

This system contains the following modules:
AR-317 VCO voltage controlled oscillator
AR-312 Envelope Generator 
AR-327 Multimode Filter VCF
AR-316 VCA voltage controlled amplifier
AR-324 Dual LFO Lag / Inverter 
AR-318 S&H / Clock Noise Generator 
AR-317 VCO voltage controlled oscillator
AR-312 Envelope Generator 
AR-327 Multimode Filter VCF
AR-316 VCA voltage controlled amplifier
AR-323 Dual Mixer
AR-321 Hex Attenuator
AR-328 Stereo Reverb & Output
AR-313 Keyboard Interface
Keyboard
Blank Panel (new)

Note:
-In the photos, 3 of the flathead screws in the keyboard were missing. We have since replaced all keyboard screws with new phillips head screws.
-The synthesizer section may look like it's levitating in the photos. It's not :D We placed a piece of foam under it for the photos (and for testing) to elevate it so it would be above the keyboard.
-The keyboard cable plugs into the power supply, so after shipping, the back wooden cover will need to be removed in order to connect the keyboard to the power supply. 

This perfectly working example is sure to make its next owner very happy. 

The Aries Modular Synthesizer was designed by legendary synth hero Dennis Colin who also helped design the ARP 2500 and ARP 2600 earlier in his career. These would be just as sought after as his ARP designs and Moog Modulars had they made it into the hands of high profile artists when they were new, but they didn't. We've since sold systems to several well-known artists. Guys, please make some future classic tracks with your Aries synths so they can be heard by millions and get the respect they deserve! ;)

The Aries appears on tracks by Locust aka Mark Van Hoen who commented on one of our Aries posts on Instagram: "I had one in the early 90’s, it’s on my debut album ‘Weathered Well’ and another record called ‘Mettle’ under the name Autocreation. The Aries was used more extensively on ‘Mettle’ and yes a lot of FM sounds. Some synths have a harsh unusable tone for FM patches, but I always found the Aries worked so well in that way." Please check out Mark's incredible music.
