Hi Paul,

Thank you for replying. I have answered your questions below. Hopefully my answers reveal something to you. Last night I let my Polaris sit for an hour or so powered up and I got it to tune all voices. I had a great and long night with a functional front panel!

Questions:

1) When it does appear to tune all voices, does it sound in tune?

Yes, perfectly.

2) When it fails to tune, do the switches and LEDs continue to work, or
has the computer crashed?

Everything continues to work. When I press Lower Function - Tune All both LEDs are lit right after I press Tune All and then they both turn off resulting in no sound.

3) When it fails to tune, have you powered off and on and retried it
multiple times, to see if it's just a matter of chance, rather than a
matter of waiting a while?

Yes. Not sure if that worked or not or just a coincidence but it did seem to work a handful of times. I usually end up waiting an hour or more before it works. Sometimes it never does.

4) Does it ever tune some of the voices but not all?

Yes. Sometimes I'll get four or five voices tuned on the first successful tuning. When I hit Tune All again all six voices tune usually after a few more attempts.
