I just checked data stored with patterns that confirms FX sysex 
transmission when switching patterns.

METHOD 1:
1.  Start MIDI Monitor (E-Loader1.1)
2.  Enable display of all data
3.  In Pattern View Mode, transport stopped, scroll to next pattern.
RESULTS-RUN 1 (using P2500 demo pattern):
1.  Initial ctrl values for 7, 10, 79
2.  72-byte sysex data starting F0 18 0F 55 01 20 01 04 . . . . F7
RESULTS FROM OTHER TEST RUNS
(including switch to empty patterns and switch to/within song mode)
--ptchbend sent
--order: ch 0 --> ch 15 settings (respectively), then sysex data
--on occasion: modesel ch 0: mode:AllNotesOff (123) val: 0 sent
----with ctrllr ch 0: ctrl: 64 val: 0

F0 18 0F 55 01  = sysex that says edit the following parameters
20 = number of byte pairs to follow (32 pairs, 64 bytes)
01 04 = parameter ID (address of where data will go)
. . . . = data for 01 04, followed by 02 04 + data --> 10 04 + data
F7 = end of sysex command

PARAMETER IDs (LSB MSB)
01 04 to 10 04 = Master Effects Parameters
(see p. 49 sysex manual version 2.2)

This seems to confirm that switching patterns transmits Master 
Effects Parameter values after sending controller data.

I encourage others to use the MIDI Monitor to examine midi data flow.

Hope this helps.

PS:  RTZ (pressing stop 2x) transmits controller data only--NOT 
Master Effects Parameters!!

BTW: Think of the sequencer and synth engine as two separate things 
here.  What MIDI Monitor shows as being sent via midi is being sent 
by the transport to the internal synth engine.
