Can we swap individual patterns?

Hey! Dzanybody know if it's possible to swap patterns the same way we can drumkits on the TD10?
I see in VKitTrans that only all 50 patterns can be dumped, but there was mention of Roland addressing that.
Maybe some progress has been made?

Looking at the MIDI chart, I doubt it though.

But it might be possible to write something that could edit the 50-pattern dump file and then re-upload the whole thing with different patterns...maybe..yeah..

Use an outboard sequencer that will create standard .mid files.

Thanks, Lee!

Would that provide a way that we could all share our patterns with each other if we wanted to? Can a .mid file just contain a single pattern?

Yep.

A .mid file is much more versatile than the TD-10 pattern, and yes, a .mid file can contain just a single pattern.

Before Brian & Eric started this site, there was a bunch of shared knowledge on Jeff Kiel's VDrum list about vast stores of pre-programmed .mid's that the vdrummers used for practice/play along.

I'd be surprised if there ain't a raftload on this site doin' something similar.
