1. Obtain a time machine.  Go back to approximately
the time that ARP started developing the Polaris.

2. Find your way to ARP's research and development
department.  Find the persons responsible for
designing this instrument.

3. The moment anybody says, "membrane buttons", slap
them hard in the face and say, "STUPID! STUPID!
STUPID!"

Please note that this method, with slight
modifications, can be used to remedy design flaws in
just about any synthesizer you wish to mention.
