I actually prefer the drum patterns from the MicroBR vs MicroBR80
or maybe I`m just not using them properly on the MicroBR80
.
Is there any ways to copy them from the MicroBR to MicroBR80  ?
.
Thanks

Not possible, I'm afraid. The arrangement files are incompatible and the Micro BR doesn't even have a file for patterns since they're built-in and can't be changed by the user. If you could export the Micro BR's patterns as standard midi files, you could import them into the BR-80. But the Micro BR provides no way to do that. The only thing you could do is try to recreate the patterns manually in a sequencer or drum software such as Hydrogen and export it as midi, then import that into the BR-80.

You could also check out the BR Rhythm Editor. Its patterns are the same as some of the other BRs. I'm not sure if they're the same as the Micro BR's but they might be. The BR Rhythm Editor doesn't have midi export either, but you can at least view the patterns which will make it much easier to manually enter them into a sequencer or drum software if you choose to do that.

I used the MBR drums by Bouncing an entire Drum beat, Fills and all and saved them as a Wav file and imported it to a Stereo track on the MBR-80. That is kind of an Off Beat (no pun Intended, LOL) way of doing it but it works. But it appears to me that the MBR-80 drums sound about the same. Maybe a Little reverb and putting them into a stereo track may help.
