If it isn't working for you, you should check the MIDI Basic Channel
parameter, and make sure it is set to 1. (That's LOWER FUNCTION, B, make
sure 1 is on and 2-6 are off.) In the Polaris MIDI format, even Sysex has
a channel number byte, and will be ignored if it doesn't match the Basic
Channel number. (The manual says that the unit powers up in Omni Mode,
ignoring channel numbers, but I believe this is false.)
