My other synths work fine so it stems from the A6. Any one else have this problem? I know that the A6 uses NRPN's instead of CC's so maybe this might be something?

  Could be a bug with SX's handling of NRPNs.  Can you filter them out?

  There's info about this in the Sound on Sound A6 review and, I think, in
the list archives.  Briefly, Alesis keyboards usually get names with some
letters and a number, the number indicating whether there are 61, 76, or 88
keys.  Since the A6 is analogue it made sense to call it the A6.  I'll
leave the rest of the story to somebody who can tell it with a straight
face.
