I can't open up the file for C6.

I am having a all around horrible experience with my BCR2000 so far. Its not mac friendly, or very user friendly, for me at least. I was sooo excited to get this too.

Since I can't get ANY sysex editors to work with my mac osx, I tried to use the learn function and just program the BCR myself to my mks50...and that has been a total mess too. I think something might be wrong with my bcr, you move one of the encoders it don't matter which one and always the 2nd encoder on any of the rolls will light up too and follow what the other encoders are doing, its strange and when i hit the learn button and move an encoder it doesn't solo it so I can send midi data too it idk.... i think it might be broken. I watched a couple of vids of people using it and I don't think it is suppose to act like this.

So I am having hardware and software problems it seems.

I think I am going to exchange it, probably just return it. I have no problems reading manuals, searching online for answers, asking questions on forums,etc.. I am pretty computer literate, but wow am I lost when it comes to this thing. I feel like I have spent the past couple days learning about sysex and stuff like that, when all i really want is to make music and have a few knobs to turn for my synth, this shouldn't be this hard.

Has anyone have a Mac running OSX Lion and able to use a sysex editor? if so which one?
Also are you able to just download a preset for your hardware synth to your bcr2000, and your bcr2000 actually works with it? without doing any additional sysex type of programming? 

Sorry for ranting a little, just very frustrated and did not think this was going to be this hard, I don't mind a steep learning curve but if you don't have windows it feels like you out of luck.
