How to open IKMP file?

The main problem with SampleTank Preset is that the IKMP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open IKMP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the IKMP 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 SampleTank

In this case, you should first verify that the SampleTank application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SampleTank 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 IKMP files.

Programs to open IKMP file

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

Step 2. Create association of SampleTank with IKMP files

If, despite the installed application, the IKMP file does not start in the SampleTank 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the IKMP file with the SampleTank application.

Step 3. Update SampleTank to the latest version

If, however, after binding SampleTank with SampleTank Preset 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 IK Multimedia Production srl page and install.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The IKMP file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the IKMP file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the IKMP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected IKMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the IKMP file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged IKMP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IK Multimedia Production srl, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file IKMP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the IKMP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the IKMP file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
