The alphanumeric characters at the end of the file name indicate the software version, which varies depending on when the file was downloaded.

The downloaded file is compressed into one file, one Voice bank for the VOCALOID6 Editor and one Voice bank for the VOCALO CHANGER PLUGIN.

Double-click the file "[Voive bank name]_Voicebank_Mac.zip" in the folder to unzip.

The Voice banks created by INTERNET Co., Ltd. will have a different file name. It will be "VOCALOID6_AI_[product name].dmg".
When using Safari, there is no need to do manually. The unzipping is done automatically at the time of download.
