You should probably read my other post first, it'll make this one make more
sense...

Since your pattern 0 is saved with no data on it, it comes up defaulted to
127, 0, etc.

Since pattern 1 does have data on it, it comes up loaded with it's settings.

Since your pattern 0 still has no data on it, it leaves the settings from the
previously loaded info.

Nah.  The pattern should save everything it needs to.  If you want to do
pattern "templates" which is what you seem to be trying to do, either save a
multisetup and load it before saving a pattern, or put some data on the
tracks in question.

If you guys need some more help on the workings of presets, multisetups and
patterns, let me know, and I'd be glad to help as much as I can...  Maybe
someone wants to start putting together a FAQ, and I can help with some of
the answers...
