Any Suggestions for iPad Midi Player that supports Keyboard MIDI ports?

I've looked on the App store and found iPad Midi players that will connect to keyboards via Network and Blue Tooth.

I want to play MIDI files using my iPad Pro through the MIDI ports on an old Yamaha keyboard (DJX PRS-D1). I have an iPad Pro with a USB Camera Adapter hooked to a USB to MIDI cable that plugs into the MIDI ports of the keyboard. I have successfully played tones on this keyboard with this setup using FifthDegree, a MIDI sequencer available in the App Store. I've tried many other MIDI players from the App store without success. Either I don't understand the subtlety of their interfaces or they don't support USB MIDI as an option. I want the player to be able to accept an existing MIDI file and ultimately play the keyboard.

Thanks for any leads.

Answering my own question; I discovered an iPad App named midmittr than connects virtual output ports of supported Apps to USB MIDI ports. It enables Sweet MIDI Player to show USB MIDI as a Core MIDI type in its settings and play MIDI files on my keyboard that has actual MIDI ports.

I'm still looking for a MIDI recorder/player with which I can emulate the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer so that I can do Bulk Dump Data Send/Load operations.
