Pattern and Kit relationship - help?

I could use some clarification here.

I want to have several patterns using the same kit, but different tracks active on different patterns. So, say I have Pattern 1 with just a few tracks, Pattern 2 with those plus a couple more, on up to Pattern 5 with everything going full-tilt.

I know that patterns and kits are tied together, and it seems the only way to do this is to have each pattern doing its thing with certain tracks, and then save each pattern’s associated kit (essentially the same kit) with a different name or incremented number.

Am I missing something, is there a better way to do this?

tl;dr: song mode!

long version: you can automate mutes with song mode.

Alternatively use Amp Volume.

Okay, I got confused. It seems I can just clear the tracks that I don’t want playing. I thought a pattern was saved with a kit, and that I had to make different versions of the same kit to have different patterns.
