THis is weird and I am wondering if I am doing something wrong or if my unit is messed up. It wasn't doing this last week, but when I make a pattern it sounds good. It's just when I turn the power off and on then revisit the pattern it's all messed up??? Any ideas?

It won't hold the tempo after you turn off the unit, but if it's anything more significant than that I'd take it back. Sounds like some kind of defect. One idea would be to test out patterns that are on your card bank vs patterns that on the internal banks. If the card bank patterns are the only ones getting jacked up, it might just be the type of CF card your using.
