To summarize - you would really have two main options.

The first is to still use the 'cassette' method. To do so, you don't
actually need the original cassette cable, nor do you actually have to
use the 'cassette'.

For the connection, you can use the 1/4" 'sync' jacks on the Polaris.
For the source, you can use a .wav file (or similar) played back to the
Polaris.

The use of the 'SYNC' jacks for cassette operations is discussed in the
Polaris user's manual - xref page 64 of:

The .wav files for the factory sets/sequences are available on-line
here:

The second option is to use MIDI sysex to load the patches. The sysex
version of the patches are also available here:
