video in the listing previously posted here.
"Rare vintage analog synthesizer Fender Chroma Polaris II serviced and in excelent working order.
The Chroma Polaris is an ARP-designed, 6 voice microprocessor-based sibling of the famous ARP Chroma with the raw and powerful analog sound of the magnificient Curtis CEM3372 4 pole, 24 dB/oct. low-pass filter chip, used in iconic synthesizers such as Oberheim's Matrix 12 and Xpander, and the Sequential Prophet 600 & Prophet T8.
It boasts 2 DCO (CEM3374) per voice, plus a suboscillator and noise circuit, osc sync and ring modulation, 2 envelope generators (filter and VCA), LFO, a basic velocity sensitive 61-key keyboard that can be layered or splitted, 132-memory programs, full MIDI implementation (all sliders can be automated via MIDI, up to 3 layered programs in different channels, storage/retrieval of patches via simple Sysex) and a basic sequence recorder.
Model 2123B was a rarer still series with 100% the same exact specs but produced for the Japanese market.
This unit has been thoroughly serviced and future-proofed for use, specially all the usual issues that this synth suffers at some point:
New high-quality panel membrane replacement by Paul DeRocco
Velocity-sensitive keyboard serviced and calibrated
Firmware EPROM updated to V9 (latest)
Power supply set for 220V-240V (reversible to 110V-115V)
Unit tested and calibrated"

"Fender Chroma Polaris in excellent working condition. Membrane has been replaced and the unit has been serviced by a reputable local synth technician. There are some minor marks on it, normal wear and tear with a unit this old. Includes power cable.
This synth is *very* heavy for it's size (42 lbs!) - a lot of metal, but extremely well-built. Such a cool sound, only selling because I have 2 of them. :)"

"Awesome synth from the 80s. Was made by the guys from arp after they were bought out by fender. Everything works as it should, some pretty radical sounds can be conceived with this machine that’s for sure."

"This Chroma Polaris is 100% functional and in A- cosmetic condition.
It has been professionally tested and serviced, and quite a beautiful-sounding analog instrument, unlike anything made today. Also, it is MIDI ready for studio/DAW integration and plays nicely with modern setups despite its status as a modern classic.
The Chroma Polaris was the 2nd synthesizer made by CBS/Fender/Rhodes after they took over ARP, following their classic Rhodes Chroma. It has a very ARP-like sound.
It has some interesting tricks up its sleeve: like 2 envelopes, including a 5 stage ADSDR filter envelope, aftertouch support (via external controller), and true multitimbral capability, with sounds that can be layered up to 6 voices. It also has a simple real-time sequencer and 132 memory patches."

"Fender Chroma Polaris in very nice shape. Has a brand new membrane panel and been completely gone through. No jumpy sliders here! Everything works as it should and sounds exactly like you want a Polaris to sound. Shows some signs of use, mostly minor paint scrapes on the edges (see pics). Was in a case where the foam deteriorated but has for the most part been cleaned though you may encounter a sticky spot here or there on the outside of the keyboard. The inside of the keyboard did not really have any foam in it but what was there was completely cleaned out."
