ChromaTalk Mailing List
This is a mailing list for Chroma owners (and has on occasion been joined by aspiring owners). It is intended as a forum for support and sharing of information on the instrument. It has been consistently active since its inception in June 1999. All archives are online here (accessible by calendar year at left). The graphs
indicate list activity, month by month, for each year.
Most recent list archive: August 2010 (17 threads, 120 messages)
Subscription and Member Info

Due to some overzealous spam protection, AOL subscribers may not receive messages reliably. Use a different provider if you can.
List Rules and Guidelines
- In order to block spam, messages can only be posted by list members. This means that you can only post from your subscribed e-mail account(s). Messages sent from non-subscribed accounts are not circulated to the list.
- Messages are restricted to 500K (effectively about 330K, taking encoding into consideration). If you have larger files to contribute, send them to Chris Ryan at chromatalk-owner@informationaddiction.com
- Check the FAQ before posting. It's not very long.
- Posts may be slightly edited when added to the archives, for instance to incorporate direct links rather than textual URLs. E-mail addresses will not be included in the archives for reasons of privacy.
- Off-topic and spam messages will not be tolerated.
- Note that the list is dedicated to the original Chroma, not the Polaris. Polaris-related posts with some relevance to the Chroma are acceptable. For Polaris-specific discussions, join the Polaris mailing list.
- If a non-member wants to post to the list — for instance, an ad to sell a Chroma — the request should be sent to Chris Ryan at chromatalk-owner@informationaddiction.com
About the List
Chris Masterton of Information Addiction very kindly hosts ChromaTalk free of charge. Thanks, Chris!
Neil Bradley of Synthcom Systems hosted the list from August 2000 to March 2006. Before that it was hosted by Sirius Connections, a defunct ISP in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The number of subscribers remained constant at around 70 for a few years, passed 100 circa 2004-05, and is now about 150. [February 2009] ![]()
