not sure, but... are you using glide? iirc, when glide is set to a
non-zero value, and you press the sustain pedal (which engages the
glide), then you go to mono mode. it's been a while since i had my
polaris though. shouldn't happen with the filtering though... it's CC64,
not a note on.

in combination with this... i would check your footpedal jacks. maybe
one of them is dirty or something. the footpedal also triggers sustain
on/off.

or maybe there's some sort of midi loop... one thing about the polaris,
is that if you send it 6 note ons for the same note, it will trigger it
on all 6 voices, might sound mono. Doesn't explain the mono on the local
keyboard though. that's the weirdest part.

just some ideas to try.
