The Fender Chroma Polaris was designed by former ARP engineers for release in 1984, and has a bright and dynamic sound that reflects its ARP origins. It has some some unusually sophisticated features for a 6-voice polysynth of its era, including velocity and fairly robust multitimbral features, and some other choices that are just unusual: parameters with bipolar control, and an LFO called "SWEEP." Overall, this synth is well suited for the experimenter looking for a one-of-a-kind analog synth experience.
all-analog voices with digital control, 6 voices, 2 VCOs/voice, 61 keys, patch memory, velocity, realtime sequencer, MIDI
We believe in transparency when selling “pro serviced” synths so always include documentation of what services every synth we sell has received. Our approach to servicing vintage instruments entails both making sure every synth is working 100% now, and eliminating common failure points to preempt future issues.
