can someone explain why this does not work ....

if i set  up two patterns  and record in a sequencer( sonar ) the 
events that i do .. ie  the process in which i change the 
patterns ..when i go back and playback the sequence that i have 
recorded the pattern change does not take place ..
there is definately a huge string of systex data recorded during the 
change but its does not take palce ..???
