Will I still be able to hear and program sounds after a hard reset (Lower/Diag/12)? or does that just remove the stored sounds?

If you do LF-Diags-12-Stop, it wipes out everything

Lower Function - D (Diagnostics) - 12, STOP / Erases all RAM and resets the microprocessor. Everything in RAM is wiped out; all adjustments, programs, and sequences. The Polaris must be reloaded and all factory adjustments must be performed following this particular function. Generally, this should be used whenever EPROM'S are changed to a different revision.

Below is the reference for the commands

It will erase everything, including the calibrations. You should hear scratch sounds, but you'll need to redo the calibrations before anything sounds right, and then reload your sounds via MIDI or the (cough) cassette.
