Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Does it immediately error or does it get through a bank or 2? 
 
The Polaris likes a hot output from the PC's soundcard. The only soundcard that works for me is an external 'blaster X-fi 5.1 and even then it takes 10 tries to get a successful load while adjusting levels etc. I've loaded up a couple of these and always use the sync input with a 1/4 to 1/2 cable.

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!
