If one is familiar with SysEx-Handling, one can change values of the SysEx-strings in SMF-Header. If one always want to use sequenzer settings saved in globals for playing SMFs, better deletes all korg-specific sysex in SMF-headers (f0 42 7f 60 00 ... f7) with midi-software after last internal write-procedure.
If one uses DAW to play SMFs containing korgspecific SysEx-strings one also receives all track-, effect- and eq-settings via Midi-In controling ones Pa-keyboard, if one does not filter SysEx-commands inside SMFs that once was written with a Pa-keyboard.
