}

ARIES WARRANTY PROTECTS YOU TWO WAYS

FIRST- If you complete an ARIES Kit., followin our instructions,

and it fails to perform according to our published speciﬁcations,

we will repair it for a handlin fee of $15. 00, or 10% of the kit

price, whichever is greater.

SECOND: We will replace any compnent of an ARIES unit which becomeB

defective in normal service.

BOTH PROVISIONS ARE EFFECTIVE FOR 120 DAYS FROM DATE OF

SHIPMENT.

WHAT YOU MUST DO: t .„„,„

FHIST: To validate the warranty, ﬁll out and return the ARIES warranty

card within 5 days of receipt of the equipment.

SECOND: Pack and wrap all returned equipment VERY CAREFULLY.

THIRD: Enclose the proper handling fee.

FOURTH: Return the package prepaid and insured to:

Service Department

ARIES, Inc.

Peabody, MA 01960

..-•■

W H A T W E W I L L D O : "

ARIES will restore your kit to published speciﬁcations, charging only

for components which, in our opinion, were damaged by the kit builder.

ARIES will return serviced equipment prepaid anywhere in the continental

United States. Other areas will be billed shipping costs, or the package

will be sent freight collect.

We reserve the right not to honor warranty unless the proper

solder is used in construction. This must be speciﬁcally

electronic solder, ROSIN CORE FLUX ONLY. (NOT acid core.)

We strongly recommend 60/40, and suggest #22 as a convenient

size. In our labs, Ersin and Kester are the two brands used.

ARIES MUSIC SYNTHESIZER KIT SYSTEM..300

GENERALASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

THS ARIES Music Synthesizer is both an extremely versatile musical

instrument and a highly ﬂexible research laboratory for

experimentation with electronic sound production.lt may also

' be used as an audio sweep frequency generator, waveform analyzer,

and signal processor.In addition, it can modify external

sounds.

The ARIES Music Synthesizer has functions found only in modular

synthesizers costing many thousands of dollars, and is-not

limited by the ﬁxed interconnections of lower cost instruments.

Any one of our inputs and outputs may be connected to any other

one, or more, resulting in literally billions of different

connections.When you consider that even one set of inter

connections (called "patches") can produce many different sounds,

the total number of sounds available becomes astronomical.

These sounds can be as different.from each other as a saxophone

is from a volcano.

|| .'■■■ '■'

The synthesizer consists of a cabinet with built-in power supply,

a choice of up to ten modules( each providing a different

function), and, if desired, a 5 octave dual-voice keyboard.

The ARIES Music Synthesizer performs with standards of accuracy,

stability, and reliability equal to or better than those of any

other synthesizer, regardless of cost. Yet, the synthesizer

:' ■■

can be assembled from kits,either all together or one module at

time.

IMPORTANT! Read this manual THOROUGHLY! Assembly is not

difﬁcult and requires no knowledge of electronics or music,

but every component and connection must be treated with care.

Every step should be checked off (7)with a pencil.

Aries stands ready to assist you if you have any problem with

assembly or operation. Cimply write :

The synthesizer modules each contain a number of miniature

components to be soldered onto a printed circuit board. Although

the components are heat resistant, a minimum of heat should be.

used to make the required connections. Accordingly, use only a

small, low wattage, "pencil" type soldering iron;a 10 to 30 watt

iron with a 1/32 or 1/16 inch tip is ideal. Use only 60/40 grade

electrical solder with a non-corrosive rosin core ﬂux.If you

are not sure what kind of solder you have, don't take the chance.

Solder is inexpensive, and use of the wrong type, such as acid

core solder,or a paste ﬂux, may severly damage the boards and

components and void the warranty.

TOOLS A small pair of wire cutters, needle-nose pliers, wire

strippers, and small and medium screwdrivers complete the list

of tools you will need. These are standard electronic tools

available at most supply houses.

INSTALLATION OF COMPONENTS The main assembly job consists of

soldering several types of small parts, called components, onto a I

printed circuit board. Parts are carefully packed at our 2, '

factory. However, if you ﬁnd parts to be missing or damaged,", please '. .;

wrire our customer service office, describing the part carefully ■

so that we can replace it.; All-parts will be installed on the

blank side of the board with their leads extending through to the

foil side. In attaching components to the board use the following

procedure. , . :

1. Bend the leads of the component to align them with the .

holes in the board...

2. Insert the component into the board, double checking to be

sure the part is aligned properly with respect to polarity

iﬁf required) and to be certain it is correctly located.

3. Using a minimum "of heat * s\d solder, solder the component; to ' \

the foil pads. Be sure the solder does not ﬂow over onto an ;

, ■... adjacent pad, as this could possibly result in damage when

. ^ power is applied to the circuit. — ...--.---.•• -

4. Clip the'excess leads ol£ at-ore" ,rpeak"af the solder joint,

and inspect the joint to be certain that it is "good"

(rounded and shiny,ﬂowing smoothly over the pad and the

lead) and that no solder has run over onto nearby pads or

leads. ,. •••'..'• ."• 'V' ix; - .'• >■"•!'■t\

PARTS ORIENTATION (POLARITY) IMPOSTANT-§ome parts must be

installed in the proper direction, while others, such as'resistors,

do not matter, AN INCORRECTLY INSTALLED PART WILL NOT FUNCTION,

MAY BURN OUT, AND MAY DESTROY OTHER PARTS! Here is a general

outline for proper orientation. Refer to this section during

assembly,,

Resistors are not polarity sensitive- that is, they

can be installed in either direction. However, for

precision resistors which have the value number on'

them, mounting should be done so that the number is <£e

'■J GENERAL ASSEMBLY

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT(cont.) Pins are numbered counter

clockwise when viewed from above the case. Observe

tab (round case) or indentation (rectangular case).

The number of pins ma?/ vary, typically being 8, 14,

or 16.. NOTICE ! The name "Integrated Circuit" just

refers to any small package containing circuitry.They

may, however, be called by the name of their speciﬁc

function, as, for example, an"ODerational Ampliﬁer"

(op-amp for short) /'Comparator", "And Gate", "Nor Gate",

etc.This need not be of any concern, however. Merely

correct part number,for example, "LM301A"

be certain to install the pins (bend

according to the assembly drawing.

Several types of semiconductor devices

of the ARIES kits. Included here are

check for the

or 74122, and

if necessary)

TRANSISTORS some

are used in

transistors, dual transistors, ﬁeld effect transistors

(FET's) and dual FET's. Like integrated circuits, they

are all polarity sensitive, and must be installed

correctly.However, there are so many different types

of pin conﬁgurations that each type of semiconductor

used here must be pictured separately.NOTE: Integrated

circuits and transistors are marked with part numbers

Sometimes there are other numbers, too, usually for

manufacturing information. Disregard any additional

numbers or symbols.Example of Transistor Installation

Notice that if the switch is

rotated upside down, Pin 1 now

becomes Pin 6, because what matters

is which pin is up and which is

should be fastened to the front
