:I started with synths back in the seventies, building Paia and Aries systems. Then came
the eighties, cheap polyphonic synths and MIDI. The Dark Ages of Analog. The Aries
ended up in a closet, along with my soldering iron. Years later, in celebration of the New
Millennium, I decided to reanimate the Aries, and while searching the web for info, I was
referred to Synthtech.com and MOTM. I was struck by the similarity in panel layout with
the Aries, what with the jack field on the bottom, Moog-style knobs on top, and black
panels in the same proportion as the monolith in "2001".
