How to open KSDS file?

The main problem with Absynth Kore Patch Format is that the KSDS file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that KSDS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KSDS file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Absynth

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Absynth is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Absynth into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support KSDS files.

Programs to open KSDS file

Remember to download programs supporting KSDS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Absynth with KSDS files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the KSDS file still does not use the Absynth program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the KSDS file with the Absynth program.

Step 3. Update Absynth to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Absynth program, it is possible that Absynth Kore Patch Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Native Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KSDS file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the KSDS file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KSDS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected KSDS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of KSDS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged KSDS files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Native Instruments, Inc.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted KSDS files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move KSDS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file KSDS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
