Headphones -

On the cable bundle, there's a brown cable not doing anything..  Use that instead of the green cable attached to the headphones.  I put a new connector in and tried this.  It worked.  I capped off the green cable so it won't run rampant inside the keyboard.  Paul told me to do this and it worked like a charm.

I posted my situation to Paul and didn't receive a response.  This is after I replace the face plate contacts.  That made the Polaris much better, but even swapping out the top left mommy board didn't fix the contour problem.

         Hi Tracy, i have the same
 issue with the polaris but i can live with that even it is
 strange.I updated the
 eproms to the latest derocco firmware, this gets you a
 faster envelope but the filter/cutoff dead space is the
 same.  an idea is to this to post
 this to the polaris yahoo group here and i'm shure paul
 will answer you in a minute or two..  btw..whats the no noise mod
 to the headphones?
  cheers
