Aries cont: MOST Aries modules were designed by Dennis Colin... who designed similar modules for the ARP 2500... so I'd describe Aries as an ARP spinoff, rather than MIT. The Aries Filter is a clone of the ARP odyssey. The Aries Oscillator is not very much like anything I've seen

As far as I know, the Aries modulars were produced by a group spun off from MIT. The early modules used 4 big knobs and later modules used up to 8 knobs. The first Wiard system was built on Aries module frames using 8 knobs and 16 jacks. I couldn't fit all the functions I wanted

hi colin, hi doc, The VCOs are very easy to tune because they are stable (the scale is always correct) and the Tune and Fine-tune Pots are very precise. It is even easy possible to tune the VCO without touching the Fine-tune knob! Something about the "bite" of Filters/Omni-Filter
