Keyboard interface, case and Keyboard.Vintage 1970's Analog modular controller, Made is USA.
Aries was an early synthesizer company from Peabody, MA.
"The Aries 300 was designed by Dennis Colin, the man who designed the Arp 2600 with Alan Pearlman, and is one of the best sounding vintage modular systems IMO.
I believe it was the first grid-based layout and was the visual inspiration for the Wiard 300 series." Muff WigglerI have no way to test this keyboard, it looks good considering its age. Key-bed looks good.Specifications:

Aux Voice                   provides the necessary output for 2-voice operation: a D.C. voltage proportional to the interval between the lowest and highest keys being held down.
                                   When added to the Voice output at the freq. control input of a VCO, where another VCO receives only the Voice output, the VCO's will track whatever interval
