[sdiy] dead CEM chips?

[vco !]

hi! i had a chroma polaris once upon a time. it sounded nice, but was waaay too heavy for transportation. when i got it, the battery backup (2 d cells, IIRC) had gone dead, and all patches and calibrations were lost. when the batteries went dead, all voices become noise. there is a reinitialization procedure that activates the oscillators somewhere on the net, i used it and it worked like a charm. if i find it, i'll post a link; otherwise, i'd suggest alltheweb.com or google.com for it.

 Hi all. I was wodering how I can tell if the curtis chips are dead in my chroma polaris. I know they have 12 chips all together and the synth makes no sound. It does power up, and I can hear noise in the output. THe volume lever works to raise and lower the noise level, so I think that part works. There just is no sound. Oh its a Chroma Polaris.


thanks
