SysEx files causing trouble in registration memory

Sysex files are causing trouble in registration memory by selecting undesired MFX
Here is what I'm doing:
I want a drum track. I select the style, I turn off the arranger part, press REC then I press Start and I record the drum part, once I'm done, I'll save it as an SMF. Then not to mess up and change the selection of the tones in the registration Upper 1, Upper 2 and Lower -> I go into the 16 track sequencer by pressing MENU -> I select Channel 4 , I press REC , I select "REPLACE", I also select STD, than I press START and I let it record (nothing) for 5 measures. I do this to all the channels except Channel 10 for the drum -> then I SAVE everything as a MIDI file.
By doing this when I play the MIDI file with the drum track, it won't change the tones in my Upper 1 and Upper 2 (in the performance memory) that is linked and saved with that MIDI file; however, for some reason if I have a PIANO selected in UPPER 1, the MIDI file won't change the PIANO tone which is good, but it will change the MFX to the MFX of the "TONE" that wasn't even highlighted (the LED button wasn't ON) during the drum recording.
Question: How can I get rid of the Sysex file that is still selecting the MFX?

I'll try to describe the issue a little better:
What I'm trying to accomplish is to use a style to record only the drum track (as SMF) , and then have it linked with one of my performance memories. The problem is when I play back the recorded MIDI file (that has only the drum track on it) , it selects a different MFX for the UP1 tone. It uses the MFX of the Tone that was residing in UP1 when the drum track was created, even though the UP1 button wasn't even lit , and neither was the MFX button.
Before I link the MIDI file with the Performance Memory, I go into the 16 Track Sequencer, and record nothing on Track 4, by selecting STD and REPLACE, and it's still not getting rid of the MFX, it's still present somewhere in the SysEx files.
So unless I record the drum track right from the get go with the TONE that I want for Up1, this thing will keep changing the MFX back to the MFX of the TONE that was residing in UP1 during the drum recording.
This is a big problem, since what if I want to use a different TONE in Up1 (in the performance memory) , and that TONE has a different MFX, once I start playing the MIDI file, the MFX will be selected back to the TONE that was residing in UP1 when the drum track was created.
I even tried going into the MFX (holding the button), and turning it OFF for UP1 which is MFX1, and then do the recording, but it still records the MFX into the MIDI file.
At this point I have two options, I either record it with the desired Tone right from the get go, or I turn OFF the MFX in the performance memory for UP1.
I'm hoping that you might have an idea, what I should do.

TedS -> " Coming at your issue from a different angle, what happens if you "lock" your keyboard tones (including Upper 1) before selecting the registration with the MIDI file? This should prevent the tone itself from changing; not sure about its related MFX."
I see what you are saying, but I don't have a problem with the tones, in other words they stay put. I also don't use a MIDI file to select my keyboard part tones, but I will give it a try.
TedS -> "The BK-9 has a pretty straightforward set of menus that determine which channels are output via MIDI..."
I will definitely have to look into it. I will have to learn this old Cakewalk and also how to set up the BK-9. I was hoping that I could just use the 16 Track Sequencer within the BK-9 for all my needs.
I had a Roland D-10 in the past that I used with a Roland sequencer an MC-50 MkII. I never used a DAW.
Diki - you said - "There’s a parameter in the sequencer when you start a track from scratch that decides if it’s recording the Style track or KBD Part."
I looked in the entire manual, I don't see an option for selecting style or keyboard parts for recording. If you find that option let me know, maybe I missed it in the book. I looked in Global, but there you can only specify Audio or MIDI, nothing else. Once you go inside the 16 Track Sequencer from the MENU , you can't record with the style.
