total success

2012-04-11 by Paul Kavicky

just wanted to mention here that I put some work into my chroma polaris and now it's total success. 

I did the panel replacement. the membrane switches never worked better, plus it looks fantastic. 
I also had to switch out an LED and two sliders. 
I went ahead and got four new sockets for the membrane tails and that made a nice tight connection. 
put new batteries in, loaded up a bunch of sounds, re-calibrated the unit. 

total success. 

this chroma polaris probably never worked better than this. it's nice to see it looking so good and working perfectly top to bottom, plus I'm a little proud of myself for doing the work. I'm never going to get rid of this guy - now I've got to much of myself in it. really happy to have a synth I enjoy so much certain to work completely for the foreseeable future. 

cheers,
