No. This has nothing to do with the cassette. As far as I know (I haven't
tried it myself) just streaming those .syx files into the Polaris should
write into the memory.

You should download the service manual, and do whatever parts of section 6
you can manage, especially "What to do if you lose your memory" on 6-5. That
may fix everything.
