We listen.

Tell us what works, what doesn't, and what you wish for: support@polarfon.com. We read what you send and weigh it against everything else on our list. An idea might find its way into an update or into something new; the decisions stay ours, and every control has to earn its place. Either way, we're glad you wrote.

What comes next.

Updates to the instruments and effects you have, free within a major version, and new ones in the making, in the same system. A few emails a year say what's new and when the next one is ready.

Press.

Writing about us, or filming? Ask for a press copy at support@polarfon.com. The files below are yours to use. More pictures are on each instrument's and effect's own page (Drum). Polarfon is one word with a capital P.
