Hey guys, long time no post. Last time I checked in I was having
inner-flexible cable problems and I just decided to let it sit until
two days ago. Thanks to bkuris, your info helped me out a lot on that
one.

Anyway, I'm having problems trying to load the original patches.
Here's the background info: I took the CD of the original patches
(wav files) and copied them to tape so I could load them into the
Polaris via a tape recorder/player that I have. I'm going out of my
headphone output of my tape recorder into the Sync In via a quarter
inch cable. I set the Polaris up for Load All and start the tape.
Each time I try to load them it cuts out on me. I've played a little
bit with different volumes coming out of the tape recorder but it
seems to do it with most volumes. The Upper Function button as well
as the sound of the patches(the timecode type sound) cuts out on me.
I've tried Load All and Load Prog and it happens on both. It cuts out
right after the first intro sound leading into the main 'timecode'
type sound. And I believe I have the Cassette function and Sync
In/Out functions set up right, but I could be wrong.

I have just replaced the original Matsushita D-cell batteries with
new ones two days ago as well if that means anything (although I had
already lost my patches before this because I pulled the jumper
connected to the batteries).

I appreciate any help on this one. I'm quite sure it's user error
since I'm not that fluent at loading patches from tape. Thanks for
your time. Kris.
