I just got my polaris back from a repair shop that did some surgery to replace the assignable slider and swap a front panel that had switch problems. ( parts from another polaris) note It appears that the circuits now work and the controls work but there now is this odd DETUNE? problem. As you play through an octave the notes sound sour and progressively more off till there is a ppoint when one sounds markedly flat then seems to return to being more tonal by the next octave, this occurs on almost all presets, some very bad others less so. ( possibly noticeable in all sounds to some degree) I tried the 'tune all' voice reset button , no improvement, and also the detune slider seems to have some effect but when centered this effect is still present, moving the detune slider modifies it but it sounds wrong regardless of setting. Couild the ossillators be out of sync? Is there a way to adjust them? the unit plays but as a friend says.. "it sounds like you are playing a sour blues scale when you play c major." so far the repair shop is reluctant to repond to my complaints and I wonder if anyone has a clue as to what may have happenned.
