Re: [chromapolaris] Auto Tune via MIDI

BTW -

You may - over time - want to purchase a new membrane face plate from Paul De Rocco.  He has them on eBay.  If you are a Polaris fan, then the $ is worth it.  The job is moderate to do, but if a (inbre"a"d, lame brain, can't solder his butt out of a paper bag - I've sort of been told this in another group here in not so many words) can do it and do it well, then most people can.  If you get one, let us know.  I have a small secret about doing it that I've told everyone here that hasn't seem to spread virally.

Worth the $ - you betcha...  when that puppy sings, it sings.  About $200+.  Takes care of plenty of issues you think are not the membrane panel as well.  Considering refurbed Polaris are going for $1200 and up, it's a good investment.

       Hi Everyone,
 I recently acquired a
 Polaris with the left side membrane dead as a Dodo, so I am
 unable to auto-tune it.  I thought I could access the front
 panel options via Sound Quest (I downloaded the demo), but
 the front panel emulator only affects the sliders - none of
 the buttons work. Is there something I'm missing? Has
 anyone here got Sound Quest (or some other program) to
 activate the auto-tune remotely?
 Thanks,Trevor
