More accurately (I recall - could be wrong): when you save a preset to
a new location, the current pattern's preset program number is updated
to point at the new location. If you don't save the pattern, the old
version of it will point at the old preset.

Aside: I notice that, if a pattern is saved to a new location, it's
still marked as dirty in the old location. This is not something I've
seen on any other MIDI device.

Scroll around, select the right presets, and then save the
pattern. When you come back to it, the preset selections should be
right.
