I need a new virus like my old indigo, the polar fits the bill but i find this to be one of the most ugly an off putting machines out there.

Is there a different color scheme like Silver case, black knobs an blue LED's oh an NO woodgrain?

Hi-tech machines, but they all try to make them look retro...how bout carbon fiber front panel with kevlar sides and blue LED's with black knobs????

im not buying an ugly machine...

Well - you can't please everyone! Personally, I think the Polar is beautiful, and so far it's looks seem to be causing more excitement than the Indigo's did.

I love the polar's look!

At first I was a bit skeptic with the color of the knobs(will have to wash my hands 500 times a day now) but still, the color of the unit just looks fine!

And I'm sure the leds will be gorgeous
I gotta say that blue was kick ass tho

The Polar is on my list too. I think it's a great, futuristic look, and very unique to boot. As is the name. I love it. I did find it strange, however, that Access decided to put a walnut strip at the front. What's that all about?

Even Hartmann put one(!) wooden cheek on one of the Neuron's sides, but not the other. Lol. Whatever floats their boat, I guess.

Also , the polar is going to look great onstage when you play live. I was thinking about puting a cutom handle so I can play it upright on stage while I am singing vocals.

you are the first person i have heard that doesnt like the look of the new polar.

ive preordered the keyboard version - but damn it was a hard decision. I just couldnt justify paying the same price for half the keys.

personally i think the polar is the best looking va ever made - and prob the most original. congrats to access for their innovation

Wasn't it DS that said he was gunna paint his TI in the same colour scheme as the Roland-Jupiter?! I'm happy Access didn't follow his ideas on that one!

I think the new range looks cool indeed.

nothing to do with colour schemes this time HC
access are giving him official credit for coining a term used in their press releases

Heheheh! Now that's a classic! What was it DS?

i cant remember the exacting wording and i dont want to misquote so i will wait for DS to respond on this one....

but i do know hes getting a free shirt out of it

i wonder why access is waiting so long with the release of some nice demo-mp3's.

i guess a couple of people - well known to this board - are working 24/7 to get that job fixed.
