You are correct that what you should do is simply 'play' the .mid files 
with your sequencer. Is it possible that you have the Sysex Device ID of 
your machine set to something other than 0? (It's in the MIDI Menu). The 
device ID has to match between the files and the machine, and the files 
were all saved as ID 0.

If that's not it, do you get any kind of error message on the LCD? Any 
other info that might help troubleshoot this?
