Yeah good to see some people writing about something here. I've been using the Polaris for a few things of late. I have a couple pretty interesting tracks, one where I just went off with the thing for a while on one and did a more concise minute and a half thing using a solo line from a kawai sx-210 and drums over the top. I got one of these cheap new behringer big diaphram mics and used it on the cymbals and the Chroma sound is an interesting two oscillator fifth tone with some radical sounding glide work interleaving with the pitch bending on the kawai. (That sideways springy bender works good for this kind of thing). Fun stuff! Another one from a few months back uses the a noisy sweep sound from Polaris as fabric behind a roland mks70 chase sound and a variety of other things like a strange string/harmonic growl sound from K5m, cello from wavestation, K5000 bubblyswirly type sound sparsely laid in and a strange space taxi from the Sequential 6-trak making a couple run by's. :-) I've gotten "Good as anyting mannheim steamroller ever did" from some listeners on it. The Polaris lends itself so well to so many things. Hope I get more time to record this winter. Been working too hard too long on fixing people's gear. Finally getting somewhat caught up so YEEEHAAA! -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: <danflann@...> To: <chromapolaris@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Saturday, November 23, 2002 12:02 AM Subject: Re: [chromapolaris] It lives > yeah scanning a few noteworthy pages. . .that sounds like a marvelous > idea to me! > dan > > > <html><body> > > > > > > <tt> > > Wow, people are still here!<BR> > > I recently found a cassette of the default patch settings. > Hopefully<BR> > > it works, although I won't be able to try it until Christmas,<BR> > > probably.
