"Quite a rare synth and very weird sounding. Sounds like a Moog crossed with an Arp and very fat with it's 3 oscillators.

It took a while to be manufactured (much longer than stated by the manufacturer himself) but it is a special instrument in absolutely MINT condition. This is serial no 10. Comes with original manual.

Was recently serviced by Synth Professor so will include the service invoice which cost me £200

• 3 transistor-based oscillators, offering saw, square and triangle waveforms
• Pulse width control for osc.1 (manual & LFO)
• Osc. 2 & 3 interval tuning
• 24dB lowpass and high pass filter
• Modulation (LFO) routed to all osc, pulse width, filter and all osc. & filter together
• LFO has fully mixable tri,saw,square, random & 'pattern' waveforms
• Osc.3 'low' mode, can operate as a separate LFO for filter mod.
• Unique 'pattern' mode LFO waveform can create riffs & arpeggios"

Aurora AR57 synthesizer demo snippet.

"A quick demo on the AR57 synthesizer. Just noodling around, and demonstrating how fat the sound can be.

A bit of added delay - and why not...."

Aurora at SDIY 2005

Looks like the Aurora made an appearance at SDIY 2005. That's Paul Maddox of Modulus Electronics and the Monowave playing it. Some notes on sound according to two that have actually played it: according to Chris Strellis "It was OK - a bit confusing routing some of the modulation sources to destinations. Definately Moogy sounding and probably worth the money. It was for sale then at something like £400. I passed on it." According to dmxkrew, "just saw your post on the aurora, it's hand built by adrian who runs SRS in bedford, UK, which is where my mum lives so I usually go there when i need something fixing. adrian is a nice guy and good at fixing stuff, he let me have a play on the synth when it wasn't quite finished, sounded great, the design owes a lot to the SCI pro one in my opinion." At the price under 600 Euro, I'm thinking this might actually be a great little monosynth. More on the Aurora here.

Update via the comments of this post: " have had the AR1 for quite a while now and have used the synth on many recordings for solo projects under Brendan Pollard and Rogue Element.
She is extremely versatile, moog sounding but with careful manipulation even ARP. Fantastic for sound effects, leads, basses, etc.
Our studio is 90% analogue and she was definitely a worthy addition to our collection,
Cheers
