Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Dear Frank,

 Many thanks for that info. I got a Polaris via Auction...and not only doesn't it tune...but the left 1/3 of sliders/buttons don't work. The info you shared lends encouragement that the problems might be fixable/programmable via MIDI/MIDI Quest.

   Appreciating it,

                             Tony, Japan

            Hi,



I'm have the same issue you have only the sliders are working.  I

use Midiquest XL 10.  Their editor is OK.  There's a "front panel"

emulation window within the editor, which I was able to use to perform

the manual tuning function.

into selling it when I  moved far away. Had been lusting for a

Polaris; and finally snagged one (used) from an Auction site. Problem:

the whole left side has non-functioning/ frozen membrane

buttons/sliders- -including the 'All tune' function. (No, the auction

seller never even HINTED at these problems: arghh....) So, the thing's

a little out of tune; and without 'all tune', looks like it might STAY

that way....

can tune & proigram using Sound Quest (the MIDI

editor/librarian) ...but gosh darn, would like to be able to push

membrane switches & sliders on the left side.

Quest--would be most welcome. I'd love for this Polaris to 'sing'!
