A few things to try and help...
1st, regarding an-factory - I installed it on my '09 MacBook w/ OS X 10.6.8, but can't get a working connection with the AN1x using either the MIDI Interface on my Kore 1 controller or my standby Emagic MT4. Not sure where the problem is as both work just fine with SysEx Librarian, Logic, Live, etc. If figure out the offset from the default timeout intervals to establish a solid connection to the AN1x I will share the settings with you.
2nd, the MarcE sound bank is made up of .an1 sounds and an-factory will open them correctly. The archive uploaded to the AN1x-list also contains the identical files in .MID format. However, when I created that archive I'd used the Mac version of AN1x-Edit and, unfortunately, I now recall Gary Gregson informing there is a bug in the .MID export feature of AN1x-Edit for Mac. So, those .MID files are useless as they stand right now. I'd created them to help users like you, and myself, access the files easily. My bad.
3rd, I wil try to make time this coming weekend to put up a copy of AN1x-Edit for Win (I've sold my old PPC) and start again, i.e. export the native .AN1 files as .MID and/or .SYX so you can use something like SysEx Librarian to load and save voices to the AN1x.
