It's obvious the product was released much before it was ready. I can't imagine why a company would want to do this... Perhaps Access has cash flow problems (ugh) and needed to start bringing some cash in regardless.

I've also read that VC doesn't "support" Digital Performer yet, which I don't truly understand, since DP supports AU's just fine.

That being said, I have been thoroughly enjoying my Polar, and so far it has worked virtually perfectly using MIDI cables and 1/4" cables. It is the best-sounding synth I have ever owned, and has awesome features that make it a nice upgrade from my Indigo.... increased polyphony, truly dedicated effects (16 independent reverbs, delays), direct access to effects and other features via front panel knobs, better LCD and menu system, more waveforms, very nice keyboard action, 2000+ presets, etc. And not to mention that the instrument just looks damn cool.

When they finally do get the Virus Control bugs worked out, this'll be one helluva instrument. Until then, I actually find the Polar to be well worth the $2500US I spent on it.
