i think they've done this on purpose so that if you're using pattern 
mode to create tunes (eg. live recoding), you can do so without 
having to have all your saved patterns at the same tempo.  this 
avoids any instant jumps in tempo when you change to another pattern 
with a different tempo.  if you have that little led screen on tempo, 
you can easily change it by holding the edit key and dialing the 
wheel.
