“Like nearly all the high end vintage analog synths we sell, this item has been METICULOUSLY disassembled, cleaned inside and out, FULLY serviced by professionals who’ve been servicing and selling vintage synths for more than the last 2 decades, and systematically tested multiple times over a long period to ensure it’s working exactly as it should. No BS. No ebay surprises. We’re perfectionists and don’t cut corners. Although this instrument came to us in relatively good shape, we want our items to be better than the rest and invested *many* hours of tech time plus parts costs to fully overhaul this unit so it would be clean, working like new again and as reliable as possible for its next owner. This was a serious investment of time, love, and money, and was definitely worth the effort and is of course reflected in the higher than usual price. If you’re looking for a great sounding example of this model that works just like it should without needing to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in tech fees and waiting from weeks to years, this one should make you very happy.

The Aries Modular Synthesizer was designed by Dennis Colin, designer of the original ARP 2600 synthesizer (which is another synth we buy, meticulously refurbish and sell).

This unit has been meticulously refurbished over dozens of hours to make it not only work perfectly but to also hopefully keep it working perfectly for a long long time. You won’t find a better one. Contains the hard to find Phase/Flange module, which makes an already incredible sounding synth sound even better – check out the clips below! And if you want to read about more about Aries synthesizers, please search our website for our other Aries listing(s).

This modular system includes the following:

-AR-318 Sample and hold / clock noise generator
-AR-312 Envelope generator
-AR-312 Envelope generator
-AR-317 VCO (single)
-AR-316 VCA
-AR-327 Multimode Filter
-AR-329 Phase/Flange
-AR-324 Dual LFO Lag / Inverter
-AR-332 Dual VCO
-Output & Power
-New blank panels
-Keyboard

This cabinet was custom built by its original owner. If you’re planning on adding modules to this system, please note that the way the cabinet was designed, theres wood protruding behind the 2 blank panels near the middle of the unit that will prevent you from adding typical aries depth modules in those sections without modifying the cabinet. So, either plan on modifying, or stick a couple shallow attentuator modules or custom modules in those two slots. The end two empty spaces will fit additional modules just fine.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
