There's the pattern capture which suggests pattern saving but im not sure how to use it.
The pattern capture stores the pattern in an internal buffer so you can restore it later. To demonstrate: Turn the transport off. Set playback mode to sync to host transport. Create a pattern, add obstacles if you want, whatever you like. Select the capture option from the pulldown to capture the pattern in the internal buffer. Run the transport for a while so that the rovers move, add items, remove items, whatever, then stop the transport. Selecting the restore option will return the pattern to what it was when you selected the capture.

Capture and Restore basically allows you to take a snapshot of a pattern and reset the sequence to that pattern any time. The current version has just the one internal buffer so only one pattern can be captured at a time. I am considering adding multiple buffers to act as a bank of snapshots for automating patterns during a song.

There is not any way (yet) to save patterns other than saving a Reaper preset. I'd like to add this as a feature for the next version so users can export, share and import patterns. Stay tuned.
