Mark, I don't have the keyboard within my reach. Even to know if changing the extensions works, I need an answer from the owner. I have already sent this suggestion to him, but I wanted to know from you if this information is correct, if changing the extensions works, to know if you are sure. As I said before, when I had the opportunity to access the keyboard a while ago, I remember that it asked for files with the .smf extension. But I saw what you told me in the "SMF" manual to be just an acronym for referring to .mid files. So, in closing, I'm just waiting for an answer from the owner. But thanks for your attention. Respectfully, Miguel Archanjo Ferreira Duarte Júnior.
... it made reference on the pen drive to the need for .smf files as I remember.
Hi Miguel,
I believe that the BK-9 expects Standard MIDI Files to have the file extension .mid and to be of Standard MIDI File type 0 or 1. (So it will not understand MIDI type 2 files.)
An explanation:
Looking at page 44 ofthe BK-9 manual to which Mark linked, I think I can see how the manual and the keyboard can confuse.
On the extract that Mark showed from p44 of the BK-9 manual, it shows that the keyboard will import files with various extensions and the bit labelled "Standard MIDI Files (SMF)" shows files with extension .mid, or Karaoke files with a file extension .kar.
On the same page in the table to the right, the manual shows what icons appear on the display alongside the name of each file, to identify the type of file. But the keyboard still expects the file to have a suffix of .mid
Above that second table is an image of the BK-9 display, with some example lines, one of which is:

Gordon, What do you mean by myhouse.mid ? I did not understand. Is it a file that is plugged into the manual example stick, or the thing is more comprehensive than it seems involving rhythm : .stl - Wave : .wav. I understood what you wanted to show. But it's like I said earlier with the physical presence of the keyboard, when I had the opportunity I remember it requesting .smf files. But I will accept your clarification - as not mentioning in the manual about .smf files - Only have SMF as the title of .mid files. And in order not to get repetitive, it's better that we close this topic showing that for a long time without seeing the keyboard and having access to it can be some confusing memory. But to prove that maybe the manual might not mention the .smf files, just having the keyboard in front of me. It's like I said, the owner and the keyboard are far away. I ask for your understanding for the way I can finish this topic, after all the owner hasn't responded yet. But grateful for the help. The question may be if he answered me, if he got anything by changing the extensions. But it looks like it's better to end here, I've already occupied you a lot with this subject. Grateful for the answers. Respectfully, Miguel Archanjo Ferreira Duarte Júnior.
Look at the image and inside the top-right blue loop.
It shows the BK-9 display with a file named "Myhouse.mid" and with the icon "smf" right next to it.
