kaput polaris part 2

2005-11-22 by colmaouno

I went thru the 'polaris ui commands' (very helpful btw) but no success. now i can hear a 
faint thumb when i play keys. i tried everything from midi reset, warm reset, cold reset 
(have no idea what they did really), then I switched on main local control switch, link local 
control switch, sequencer local control switch, the main chroma out, link chroma out and 
so on... after time somehow when i go back and hit LF, B (Interface options) the 4 (main 
chroma out), 5 (link chroma out), 6 (sequencer midi in swtich) LED's turn off and they 
shouldn't, i think, cuz I turned all 1-12 on. LF,C,5 (chroma program switch) does not work 
and LED does not light up on 5. i also enabled all the links (dam wish i knew how to do 
that before, to get all 6 voices working!!! im pissed). midi seems to be working fine now... i 
think all my programs (presets) were all erased some how.. still does not explain why no 
sound is coming out except for the thump when i turn the volume all the way up and play 
keys. thump is hardely audible when i set oscillators to pulse waves. oh yea clicks 
(metronome, etc) working fine. record on sequencer stopped working, so did the pedal for 
bpm. i think my polaris is trying to come back from the dead cuz as i write this im trying 
to fix it and now the thumping noice is sounded like a gong on crack. oh wait, back to the 
thumping sound again.. its a nice kick sound actually. well there u have it.. a detailed and 
headache enducing description of my dilemma. thanks for reading all the way to this 
point. cheers!
