you've got it backwards.  in extended mode the pattern holds its  
associated
kit, not vice versa.  and patterns are always saved as you work on them.
there is no dedicated save function for a pattern.  so when you make a
change, you're *really* making it.  there is no undo.  kits, however,  
need to
be saved if you make changes to them.  when you load a kit to a pattern
in extended mode, it will always load that kit every time you play the
pattern.  unless you revert to basic mode, in which case it will simply
play whatever the current kit is.
