Terry,
I'm not sure what you are doing or how, but I have no problem whatsoever with this. It takes me about 5 seconds to save it. It's easy to do. Go to pattern mode. Go to mixer. Set your mixer settings up however you prefer. Press the store button. The screen should say "Mix store to current pattern". press enter. Your changes are saved.
The changes aren't saved in internal rom, aqnd I don;t think there is any CC data written to a user pattern by pressing store, meaning that any changes you make to a pattern will be gone when you power down and power up again. However, the template settings are stored, so.. you'll have to modify a template before you power down.
Go from mixer to job, then press f6, then decide which template you want to overwrite, and press the put button. The template data should now be saved. When you power upm again and load your pattern from disk, if the mixer data isn;t right, go to job, then template, find the template, and press "get". All should be well.
Hope this helps. If I'm not uunderstanding you clearly or there is anything else that I help you with or that we can walk through together, feel free to drop me an email and if you would like we can exchange phone numbers as well.
AJ
