OK thanks. I'll give it a go.

Thanks for your help :-)

Yes, correct. These control whether the local controls (keyboard,
sequencer, etc.) will/won't send data to the internal sound generators
in the Polaris. So - if you turn those off, hitting the keys won't
trigger the Polaris to sound. You can test that without any MIDI
attached, just to confirm you're seeing the expected behaviour (e.g.,
lights on, keys make sounds - lights off, keys don't make sounds).

If you're not using the Chroma interface (you're probably not) then
settings 4-6 don't matter.

Settings 7-12 controls how the system handles MIDI In/Out.

So - for what you describe (and for simplicity of the other settings)
I'd expected:

LF - Interface: 1-6: off, 7-12: on

There are other settings that can also come into play - but those will
only adjust what 'sort' of MIDI data is sent (and on what channel,
etc.) - so I'd first look to confirm you can get the keyboard to not
trigger the local Polaris - and then go from there. (E.g., quantify
exactly what is/isn't being seen vs. what is expected/desired).

Let us know how you make out.
