gREG,

Here is a link that will provide you with a comprehensive Polaris 
manual. The Polairs is a sophisticated instrument that really 
requires a full understanding of how to access it's real power. That 
maunual will go a long way in helping you achieve that.

As far as fattening up the sound. The Polaris has a very uniqe 
sound, but it's also very fat once you discover it. A few notes 
played with the right programming and filter / envelope settings 
will blow just about anything away for pure richness and depth, and 
will be memorable in a mix. I don't know how else to say it. YOu 
won't use it for a lot of stuff, but when you do, it's a secret 
weapon and gratifying. I will never sell mine, and I have owned and 
still own a lot of stuff ranging from vintage analog to the latest 
and greatest VA crap (most of which I end up selling). 

Hope that helped
