Could someone PLEASE tell me how to ensure that presets to saved 
patterns don't change after power cycling.

Make sure that the tracks you're trying to save presets for have data
on them (i.e. you've recorded or inserted notes or controllers).  In
other words, you cannot make a "template" pattern which only sets up
presets, vol, pan, etc.  (well, actually you can, but it's a bit more
work; see the archives for more info).

Patterns definately had note data...the preset was (prom1)concert 
piano and when power cycled it still had note data but was playing it 
through the first (user) preset (a modified drum kit)?!?!?

This has happened before and really messes things up for me:(

Just to clarify what Aaron was saying, each *track* that you wish to have a
preset assigned will require MIDI data in that track in order for the preset
setting to also be saved (there is really a reason for this, it really is a
feature!).

For example, lets say you want presets saved on synth channels 01A, 07A, and
02B.  You will need to have those each assigned as the destinations for a
track, and the corresponding track must also have data.  While it is normal
to have the relationship where track1->01A, track2->02A and so on it is not
required and that is sometimes the source of confusion.

Not sure if this is what is causing your problem but I thought I'd mention
it just in case.
