Sharing sounds and parameters to other patterns : Kits

OK, new Elektron user here. I just want to make sure I’m understanding this - when I switch patterns, all changes made on the previous pattern’s synth/fx pages are lost? And there isn’t any way to have synth/fx changes reflected in every pattern of a given track? That seems like a massive problem when it comes to live performance, and could be a deal-breaker for me. Please tell me I’m misunderstanding. Why would anyone want that? Instead of having 128 usable patterns, you’ve basically got just one… Is this a bug or the intended functionality?
