Re: My Polaris is on! Having loading loading, NEED CASSETTE CABLE

2011-06-04 by skyrunr

Hello,

I had downloaded ALL of the documents from this files section, but didn't realize the service manual was not in the files section of this site.  I got the scratch sound working.  It is nice to have SOME sort of sound coming from my Polaris for sure!  Oddly a channels adjustment seemed to kick the sound back on.

I just can't get this puppy programmed with some real sounds.  I can hear the midi sounds coming through the MIDI in from the computer, just as I can hear the cassette sounds when I try to load through the SYNC-IN.  The memory is not full, but the Polaris will not accept any programming.

It looks like the next step is to find or make a CCR-81 cassette interface cable.  I haven't been able to find one yet.  So close but yet so far!
