it's a feature (in my book, at least). the MD does the same thing when
you shut it off. if you reload the kit or load a pattern with a
different kit, the unsaved kit will revert to its saved state.
otherwise, it remains as before the reset. which is good, if you do like
I just did a minute ago and forget to save the kit before you power off.

songs don't function this way, though. if you forget to save a song and
you reset, you're screwed (or so I've been told). BUT if you exit song
mode without saving and then return to song mode, the song will still be
in its most-recently-used state.
