   About all I can gather is that the business went under from not enough 
sales.  Ron Riviera, the man behind the Aries went off to form his own 
company called Riviera Music Systems (RMS) which did mods to Minimoogs 
amongst other things.  Unfortunately I don't know any more than that.  I 
was given an email address of a friend of Riviera's, a former employee of 
Aries.  But I never got a reply when I inquired, so I doubt it'd be of 
any help.  A better bet might be to ask Jim Michmerhuizen (you can do a 
search on the web).  He was also a former Aries employee where I got my 
contact information from.
