How to open FSB file?

An often recurring problem with FMOD Sample Bank Format is that FSB is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FSB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FSB 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 FMOD Designer

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FMOD Designer is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name FMOD Designer in it. 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 FSB files.

Step 2. Create association of FMOD Designer with FSB files

If, despite the installed application, the FSB file does not start in the FMOD Designer application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the FSB file with the FMOD Designer application.

Step 3. Update FMOD Designer to the latest version

If, however, after binding FMOD Designer with FMOD Sample Bank Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd. website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FSB 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FSB files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 FSB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FSB 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 FSB files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FSB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Firelight Technologies help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FSB 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 operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the FSB file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the FSB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
