How to open B4A file?
The most common problem when using Native Instruments B4 II Data Format is that a specific B4A is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that B4A files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the B4A 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 KONTAKT
In this case, you should first verify that the KONTAKT application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name KONTAKT into the 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 B4A files.
Programs to open B4A file
Remember to download programs supporting B4A files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of KONTAKT with B4A files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the B4A file still does not use the KONTAKT program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the KONTAKT application as the default for handling the B4A file.
Step 3. Update KONTAKT to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the KONTAKT program, it is possible that Native Instruments B4 II Data Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Native Instruments, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the B4A file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The B4A file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the B4A file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file B4A or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected B4A file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the B4A file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged B4A files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file B4A except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the B4A file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the B4A file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the B4A file again. 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.
