1.  To test this on my Command Station, I took a pattern and changed 
it to 1 bmp.  It seemed to work.  I then powered down and the 1 bpm 
setting was gone.

2.  I did it again at 274 bpm.  After powerdown, it came back as 274.
3.  I did it again at 2 bpm.  After powerdown, it came back up at 4.

I then started aftering files, saving them, and looking at them with 
E-Loader's midi file listing utility.

More to follow.
