Although I'd checked that several times, I think it was still the problem and had somehow engaged. I was able to place the MIDI file in the folder and it plays on the LK-280. The keys flash but it seems semi-random, ideally I'd like to be able to practice the piece one hand at a time, but it seems it's only illuminating random notes. Do you all have any advice for clean devision of the left and the right hand and how to get them to play one at a time?
Thanks everyone for your prompt and helpful replies, it means a lot.
