The COBALT8 uses the MODALapp on a current MacOS (10.14 or later) or Windows 10 (or later), to exchange patches.
*At this time the Android and iOS versions of MODALapp do not support patch upload / download
*Please note. Carrying out these procedures will overwrite patches that exist in their respective locations and there is no undo function. Please back up any patches you wish to keep before overwriting them.
