no.  just like when you change patterns in normal mode, the kit
is only reloaded if the kit is different.  two patterns with the same
kit when played in succession will not reload the kit.  and just like
if you play a pattern over and over again and it has locks, the locks
don't affect the kit's state.  they only effect the step that they're  
set on
and don't actually change any of the kit's settings as you see them
(and actually they're not sent out via MIDI either).

so if you have something setup in song mode with the same kit
and several patterns going, the locks will still effect
everything that they always did and you can also change
the kit's parameters as the song plays.  (something that you can't
do in vastly inferior seq's like the XBase09!)
