- Geary Yelton (report). UNCG Bestows Bob Moog Foundation with Permanent Loan of Legendary Modular Synths. Bob Moog Foundation."The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) recently dusted off the modular synthesizers and other vintage instruments and equipment in the closet of their electronic music studio and sent it to the Bob Moog Foundation for restoration and exhibition. ... / The modular synthesizers included in the loan are of such historical, as well as technical, value that we asked music technology journalist, Geary Yelton, to do a bit of research on them. He uncovered a lot of interesting information, below. ",
"Aries 300 Synth maker Aries Music produced its 300-series modules from 1975 until 1982. The Massachusetts-based company gave synthesists a choice of purchasing factory-built modules or kits for anyone who didn't mind handling a soldering iron (at an average savings of 40%). ",
"The Aries on permanent loan to the Bob Moog Foundation was hand-built by Dr. Art Hunkins of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who established the state's first electronic music studio in 1966. This was his personal system, which he used to compose music for live performance, to accompany dancers, for studio recordings, and for teaching. In particular, Hunkins' composition “Fantasy on One Note” was commissioned and written for the Aries, and he performed it for audiences on several occasions. ... ",
"Most Aries Series 300 modules were manufactured by former ARP employee Paul Rivera and designed by Dennis Colin, who designed the ARP 2600 along with Alan R. Perlman. The Aries had minijacks for making connections rather than the larger and more durable phone jacks used in most modular synths at the time, making Aries systems relatively compact. Patch points were plentiful, giving the systems plenty of flexibility. A total of 28 different modules were available, ranging from a lowpass filter with a variable cutoff slope to a sophisticated analog sequencer. ",
