What is BUN file?
The file in the BUN format belongs to the Audio Files category. The author of this format is Roland. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files.

This is a program created by Cakewalk, Inc..
How to open BUN file?
The most common problem when using Cakewalk Bundle Format is that a specific BUN is not associated with the program. This causes the file BUN to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BUN 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 SONAR
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SONAR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SONAR 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. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open BUN files.
Programs to open BUN file
Remember to download programs supporting BUN files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SONAR with BUN files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BUN file still does not use the SONAR program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the BUN file with the SONAR program.
Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the SONAR program, it is possible that Cakewalk Bundle Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cakewalk, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BUN file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 BUN file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our BUN file. However, remember that not every infected BUN file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the BUN files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged BUN files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Roland help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BUN files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move BUN 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the BUN file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BUN file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
