Rhodes Chroma Polaris

Hi there.  I have had the polaris for a couple of years and didn't 
have the factory patches.  I saw the demo on youtube and was very 
excited to hear them finally.  I was looking for an easy way to 
transfer factory patches from the computer to the polaris via midi and 
bypassing the cassette.  Is there an easy way to do this?  After all 
that I've been researching there doesn't seem to be an easy way.

Cheers

well as i posted not long ago....my polaris would NOT accept the 
audio data of  the factory patches  that i got off the rhodesshroma 
website....and i did transfer it to cassette in a couple diffrent 
ways...no one could tell me why that didnt work in a way  i could 
prove...one theory was that the digital audio cant be read by the 
polaris which needs analog audio... but my response was to give up, 
say 'why do i need factory patches anyway'...most were fairly boring 
and lame, and just made my own sounds... Hopefully you can load in 
the info off the computer, somehow i couldnt...
