Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Hey there,

Fuse, thanks for setting this up. I'm sure this will benefit all of 
us.

Here's a link that has a bit of information about the Polaris:

I've had my Polaris for a couple of years now, but haven't done too 
much with it lately, because of moves and other priorities. Two of the 
voices are bad (fortunately, you can turn them off), so I have four 
part polyphony. I'm not a great keyboard player, so usually four is 
plenty :) . I've had to swap a few ICs in the "voice" section to get 
the four to work. The problem with the other two is that the ICs that 
are broken are "out of print", so they're difficult to find and 
expensive. Oh well.

My membrane keypad has a few problems with it. I tried once or twice 
to fix it, with limited success. Therefore, I'm very interested in 
trying to find the original patch tape(s), or a wav or mp3 file of the 
tape(s). Anyone have the tape(s)? Alternately, I'd like to be able to 
send a patch from my computer, via MIDI and Cakewalk or some other 
utility.

That'll do for now,
Talk to you later,
