kaput polaris please help

2005-11-22 by colmaouno

thanks for the help with the glide corley. i got another problem on my hands now. I dont 
know exactly what i did but my Polaris does not function anymore. as I was working on a 
new sound I hit upper function, 4 (save program) then the polaris made a strange sound, 
then to be sure my sound was saved i hit upper function, 1 (store program) then my 
polaris flipped out... the preset parameters changed completely, i didnt touch anything 
after that i dont know i just turned it off... when i turned the power back on it didnt work 
anymore, no sound or nothing even after playing with the parameters (oscillator,filter, etc). 
when i hit any letter for bank select/program select none of the programs show up. I 
turned on Logic (sequencer program for Mac) and it was sending weird midi signals 
without even touching anything, but no notes when i played keys. I just switched my 
polaris off and on again and now no weird midi signals but still no midi notes, no sound or 
programs in bank/program select. I am going to go over all the commands for the polaris 
and try to reset it back to default factory conditions, or something. I am afraid i have killed 
my polaris. please help...
