Hey Jeff,
I was just going to recommend the 6-channel midi approach when I noticed someone else already mentioned it...but I'll elaborate. An easy method is to create 6 separate midi tracks in your sequencer, each assigned to their own channel, and then set tracks 2-6 to echo track 1. In real-time use, this should cause the Polaris to layer all six of it's voices in one note. This way you can actually perform monophonically with it, as well as playback the monophonic sequence. However, I'm not sure whether all six of the tracks can also reference the same program/patch number on six different midi channels simultaneously. You may need to experiment. This is the only way I can think of off hand, which does require a few extras steps.

A brute force approach would be to have the same sequence sent to the Chroma (via MIDI) on six different MIDI channels (e.g., to actually command 6 mono voices with the same instructions).
