KP3 User Patterns for Ext. Ctrl?

First of all, I AM searching but I thought I'd ask here too. Is there any way to edit the patterns available in Ext. Ctrl. mode or maybe create new patterns from scratch?
What I'm after is KP3 "drawbars" like the manual ones on Hammond organs, which "increase" from top to bottom.

You can edit the midi messages sent by the KP3 in ext ctrl with the KP3 editor.

Thanks, that will be a part of what I am trying to do. I am trying to create a "user" pattern on the KP3 screen that is the opposite of the "fader" pattern that I will use to send "drawbar" data to "clonewheel" software. I am getting closer. Weird part is that somehow I need to convert the KP3 8x8 matrix messages into "Hammond" 9x8 control (probably by just grouping two of the receiving drawbars-a minor compromise given the functionality I might get).

Scratches head: I think I just need a vertical inversion of pattern 4.

Pattern 8?

Well, I made contact with Korg tech support about this and they say there is no way to load "user" patterns for Ext. Ctrl. They did however understand the "drawbar" idea and said it would be passed on.
I'm no coder so I have no idea how to view the files being sent from the editor to the KP3 and would love some ideas or insight into how one could possibly edit the files in the editor.
I can do some "interesting" new things with pattern 4 almost controlling clonewheel drawbars but not what I am really looking for.

(And no, I won't be turning the KP3 upside down)
