Alesis Andromeda A6

Because of a couple of quirks in the A6's sysex implementation, you currently cannot SEND an edit buffer FROM knobkraft TO the A6, but you can receive them, which is great when you manually do something on the A6 and just wanna store that for later.
-
Because the A6 has no receive edit buffer (it does, but it doesn't work), the workaround is to send new patches from knobkraft to the A6 to the User Bank, Program 127 (but for that you need to select that beforehand, see tect from manual down below!) and then knobkraft does a program change to that program.
Be careful how your A6 is set up so to not overwrite something you don't want overwritten, it can receive programs/patches in multiple different places.
From the A6 manual:
The SYSEX page of Store mode contains a useful feature under Soft Knob 3 labeled RCV TO (Receive To). This gives more flexibility in receiving SysEx Programs and Mixes:
* USER means that the incoming SysEx Program or Mix will go into the User Bank (at whatever Program or Mix number it was originally stored from). This is the default setting.
* HERE means that the incoming SysEx Program or Mix will overwrite the Program or Mix currently shown in the display, regardless of its original bank or number.
* ORIGIN means that the incoming SysEx Program or Mix will be written to wherever it originally came from. If it came from a Card bank and a card is present, it will write to the Card. Writing directly to a Preset bank from a Sys Ex file is not allowed.
* CARD allows you to select a card bank where the Program or Mix should go
