How to open JCP file?

The most common problem when using Jesusonic Preset Format is that a specific JCP is not associated with the program. This causes the file JCP 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 JCP 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 REAPER

The first step is to check if the computer has the REAPER program installed. To do this, enter the name REAPER into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support JCP files.

Programs to open JCP file

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

Step 2. Create association of REAPER with JCP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JCP file still does not use the REAPER 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. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the REAPER application as the default for handling the JCP file.

Step 3. Update REAPER to the latest version

If, despite the association of the REAPER program with the Jesusonic Preset Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Cockos Incorporated website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not 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 JCP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JCP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JCP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JCP files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair JCP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Cockos Incorporated, 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 JCP 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the JCP file to another location.
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. 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 the problem persists, restart the machine.
