The point was that when we were designing all this parameter lock, 
and kit-locked-to-pattern things, we were afraid people would find it 
too complex. But if parameter locks would be any useful, we needed to 
lock the kit, or it would just sound awful as the machine was 
changed. So we added the classic mode in which the kit would never 
change if you didn't explicitly do it yourself.

Later we found that maybe it confused more people than it helped, 
although some people have found some interesting use for it like has 
been described in other posts. However, the most interesting is that 
someone just asked for it in the Monomachine a while ago in this 
list! He didn't use the term "classic" mode, but wanted the kits to 
stay, and not change when he changed the pattern. So it seems that 
some people like it after all...
