How to format a SD card on the Casio LK-280 transfer midi songs from a laptop and play it on the keyboard using the Key lighting system feature for learning a song. For more for information from Casio about configuring midi files to light up can be found here:

"Lesson Parts
The right-hand lesson part corresponds to MIDI channel 4 and the left-hand lesson part corresponds to MIDI channel 3. Before converting SMF data, you should use commercially available sequencer software to check the MIDI channel settings of the original data and to change them, if necessary."

I recommended using Anvil studio to change the channels, the free version is very easy to use and will give you the function to change the midi channel and instrumentation

To create the proper lay out you will need to create or move the piano parts of the score to the following:

Channel 1 bottom (left) hand sound only
Channel 2 top (right) hand sound only
Channel 3 bottom (left) hand sound and lighted keyboard display
Channel 4 top (right) hand sound and lighted keyboard display

Note - If your midi file only has 2 piano parts like most do you can clone the right and left hands and then change the channels to 3 and 4 as well as the instrumentation. this will enable the score to function right for lessons setting and playback on your LK-280

This is a great site for lesson and compatibility with light up keyboards
