Modular synth: Aries classic
This is probably the oldest modular that I own, though I don't know of the date or origin of my other synth, the Monolith 2. The Aries is made of solid circuitry that works exceptionally well. The quality of these modules are very nice. Features like hard sync on the LFO's and S/H clock, a peak mode for the VCF, 8 in configurable DC mixer, etc, etc. My only complaint about the Aries is that the envelopes require a gate and trig signal to respond correctly (much like Arp - no surprise because Aries was made by one of Arp's engineers) - I usually just multiple a gate into both and that seems to work well enough, or as seen in this picture, I use the Sequential Circuits 700 programmer for the envelopes and not the ones in the Aries.
