Re: New Chroma Polaris User Looking For The Factory Patches

2003-10-10 by kornelious23

After going through the manual the only thing I came upon that would 
do that is the Midi Panel Switch: Lower Function-Cassette-8. It will  
send parameter and program changes to another Polaris or a computer. 
I'm not sure if it will send like how a sysex dump would do because 
I've never tried it. There's also the sending of a program: Lower 
Function-Cassette-12, but once again not sure if that's what you're 
after. I'm going to try these the next chance I get to see if it 
winds up as sysex or something else. Sorry for the rather basic 
response, I'm learning as we speak.  Kris.
