Nah if you're in Pattern Mode (selected under the display) pressing Save 
defaults to "Save Pattern".  If you're in Preset Mode, it defaults to 
"Save Preset".  So far so good.  The problem, is that you can be in Preset 
Mode, yet still be moving things around in Pattern Edit screens.  So, if 
you press Save right from a Pattern Edit screen, the Save menu still 
defaults to "Preset Save", even though you may think you're going to save 
the Pattern. 

Yeah, yeah, I know you can just scroll and select Save Pattern, but I'm 
really bad at quick saving in the heat of the moment.  That 
SAVE+CURSOR+ENTER+ENTER routine is second nature now, and too many times 
lately I've fired off the combo only to realize I just overwrote a Preset, 
when I meant to save the Pattern.  It's my own fault of course, but 
changing to behavior to the way I suggested seems logical, and might help 
out others besides myself.

BTW, what sequencer timing problems are you having, internal or external 
gear?  I can't speak for sequencing external gear, but the internal timing 
is the tightest I've ever seen in a "groovebox", or any hardware sequencer 
save maybe a MPC60 or 3000...

If you've edited the pattern, then the SAVE page should default to
saving the pattern rather than the preset, non? I don't understand why
the "preset mode" should make any difference.

My wish-list:

(i) fix all the bugs;
(ii) tighten up the sequencer timing.
