When I perform a dump to the polaris, the patches sound different than what I programmed.  I have to click send a couple times before the patches sound as they should.  It not a sysex dump, but instead sending the saved "Set" to the polaris.  I think it has something to do with the polaris having  several "instruments" channels, but I swear I have it set to  respond to one channel only.  I haven't tried a sysex request/dump yet, mainly because I'm afraid of losing everything.  I'm going to make sure I also have it saved to tape before I try it.

ive looked into midiquest because i have a pc and for some reason librarians are hard to find for windows.   i've read nothing but horrendous experiences with this program (especially considering the price), but none specifically with the polaris in mind.  When you say that it acts strangely, can you still load/dump sysex files of settings you previously saved back onto the polaris?  that's mainly what i need it for as im not sure how old the internal batteries are and if i lost the presets i've made thus far my band would be out for months...  the panel emulator would be a very welcome addition though!

thanks for the info

I use Midiquest 10 XL and it works OK. The only reason I use it really is because it has a front panel emulator, which I absolutely need since the left side buttons don't work on mine.  My polaris responds strangely when receiving patch dumps from midiquest, and I've tried every setting possible on the polaris.

hello group,

i was wondering if anyone on here knows of a librarian that supports the chroma polaris.  most of what i've found online seems to be either defunct or inappropriately expensive.  i dont need the program to do alot, as i really just want a way to save my bank without the use of a cassette deck.  program editing would be nice though..
