Rhodes Chroma Polaris

hi folks,
I just passed a Ploaris for a lump sum of EURO 600.-.
I'm thinkin' about gettin' this beauty but since I have not the room 
for 3 keyboards, I need to know if I can get rid of my NORDLEAD 2
in order to place a POLARIS on that particular stand.
I used the nord as a master, since my prophet reponds to every midi 
message, no matter what channel (when keyboard is on Midi out!)
So, is it possible to switch Local on/off for using polaris as a midi 
master keyboard (without responding to notes played on other midi 
instruments when connected to Midi out).
thanx out there in advance.

Marc,
I don't own a Polaris yet, although I want one soon, but the Polaris
Owner's manual says that the following switches control Local on/off:

Lower Function, Interface, 1 - Main Local control toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 2 - Link Local control toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 3 - Sequencer Local control toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 4 - Main Chroma Interface Out toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 5 - Link Chroma Interface Out toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 6 - Sequencer Chroma Out toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 7 - Main MIDI in toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 8 - Link MIDI in toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 9 - Sequencer MIDI in toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 10 - Main MIDI out toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 11 - Link MIDI out toggle on/off
Lower Function, Interface, 12 - Sequencer MIDI out toggle on/off

These should let you control how the Polaris behaves as a master
keyboard and how it responds to incoming MIDI messages, too.

Yep, IIRC, LF, B, 1 (and LF, B, 2 in case you have link programs) turns
local off.

But, you won't really want to use the polaris as a master keyboard.
Among other things, it only transmits velocity to 100.

Yeah, I had similar thoughts when I purchased my Polaris...needless to say it s mostly a very large multi-timbral sound module in my studio now. My pots are
