I have installed C6 to receive a .syx file in a Mac OS El capitan but C6 never opens. What should I do?
Open C6. Set it to receive. Set A4 to USB only, no midi. Hit send. Then highlight the download, after you see the dump completed. Stop, then save!
I can not open the programā¦
I open C6 and nothing happens
This is the second report Iāve seen of this today. The other was on Muff Wigglers but from someone running on OS X 10.7.5 (Lion?). He says it opened fine a couple of days ago but now it just bounces and bounces in the dock and doesnāt start up at all.
I used C6 the other day and it worked fine on El Capitan. I just downloaded it onto my laptop at work and it launched fine from the disk image. OS X El Capitan v10.11.5.
Sometimes thereās security settings on OS X and you may have to launch C6 the first time by right-clicking on it and selecting āOpenā from the pop-up menu. A lot of these small utility apps never bother with Appleās newer security signing options and the workaround can be a little clumsy.
That didnĀ“t work for me. When I click in the icon the programs appears in the dock but anything elseā¦ My Mac OS version is 10.11.5
same here
Works for meā¦OS X 10.10.5
Yeah, that was me. The program started first time, I was able to upload the files in question to C6 fine. I didnāt do the transfer then. I start the laptop up the next day and both usb/midi transfer apps I have, C6 and SysEx Librarian just bounce like a pornstar and refuse to start now.
Frustrating stuff. Itās killing my vibe.

^ nahā¦
- quit c6
- open Terminal.app
- paste this, press enter:
find ~/Library -name "*elektron.c6*" -exec rm -rf {} \;
this removes all c6-related files (such as preferences) in your user library.
alternative:
- delete c6
- forget c6.
Do you know alternatives to C6?
There seems to be an issue with the windowing system and C6 (Iām on 10.11.5 El Cap) - fixing/deleting prefs didnāt help but the fix is pretty straightforward. You could try the following:
- open C6,
- then open a window any other application, or finder window and hit the full screen button (top right of window, 3rd button in).
- Hit the same button again to take the other applications window out of full screen
the window for C6 should then magically appear. (If you canāt see it then - check its not in another desktop in spaces) Hope that makes sense and works for you.
Oooā¦ That bit about windowing reminds me of something. If youāre using any extensions like āMoomā (offers some window placement/sizing enhancements), that can make some apps go squirrelly or not work at all. I encountered this with the Patchblocks editor (as of v0.33) - it just would not launch at all if Moom was running.
I donāt think C6 is a terribly fancy program, but it looks like a very basic cross-platform program. Even the text in the title window doesnāt support retina graphics, and thatās typically something offered by the operating system and should be free, so maybe itās a Java app or from some other cross-platform toolkit that doesnāt work well with things that add tricks to the Mac OS. Or some small El Cap change makes it try to draw itself in a bad location. Or Iām just babbling.
Thank you mate your solution worked!!
I tell the problem/solution to the elektron official support and they told me they will try to fix it
Nice fix! I had not seen that one before
Hi all!
Same issue here. ItĀ“s not El Capitan. ItĀ“s a bug.
In my case C6 started but there is no window open.
Tried couple of ways to get rid of it.
One thing worked.
In OS X (Sierra):
Press C6 in the top left corner and go to - Services - Service Preferences and it should open C6 as a window.
Close is it and open it again. Now you should have a floating window again =)
Hope that helped! =)
Yes it solve my problem!! Tx
