Hey there...yeah, 650 pounds sounds pretty hefty...thats probably like 1500$ US or something...I would maybe pay that if it were new in the box ;) In any case, here is a track I did a few months ago that is 100% Polaris. It was multi-tracked, but it nearly played full on in multi-timbral mode...just the end of some of the pads would get cut off here and there. No effects were used...I don't think i even compressed the kick drum at all (which is also the polaris, yes) http://www.mindsetstudio.com/downloads/iv-Interferon_192.mp3 I've used it in alot of tracks ever since I bought one, quite heavily too. In this track, it layers part of the pads, plays a quirky resonant organ thing in the back ground, does lots of analog brass swooshy things and high ptich bends, and the huge analog lead solo in the middle of the song is also the Polaris... http://www.mindsetstudio.com/downloads/Songs/iv_CoupDeTea.mp3 So, with that, I would personalyl say it's strenghts are #1 for making analog sounds....it makes great pads, strings, etc...and does damn good leads too, although it's portamento is wierd to implement without a foot pedal, which is the only thing that bothers me. It does good bass to, but I wouldn't call it a strong point. Sound effects are easy and great as well.
