How to open DKT file?
The main problem with DiGiTIAL THUNDER Drum Kit Format is that the DKT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DKT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DKT 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 Drumstation
The first step is to check if the computer has the Drumstation program installed. This can be achieved by typing Drumstation into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DKT files.
Programs to open DKT file
Remember to download programs supporting DKT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Drumstation with DKT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DKT file still does not use the Drumstation 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. 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 Drumstation application as the default for handling the DKT file.
Step 3. Update Drumstation to the latest version
If, however, after binding Drumstation with DiGiTIAL THUNDER Drum Kit Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the d-lusion page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DKT file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DKT file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DKT file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DKT files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DKT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DKT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use d-lusion interactive media help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DKT 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the DKT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file DKT to close. However, some background programs may block the DKT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
