How to open KSD file?
An often recurring problem with Absynth Kore Patch Format is that KSD is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that KSD files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the KSD 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 Absynth
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Absynth is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Absynth 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 KSD files.
Programs to open KSD file
Remember to download programs supporting KSD files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Absynth with KSD files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the KSD file to open in the Absynth application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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 Absynth application as the default for handling the KSD file.
Step 3. Update Absynth to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Absynth program, it is possible that Absynth Kore Patch Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Native Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the KSD file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The KSD file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to KSD files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file KSD or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected KSD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the KSD 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair KSD file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Native Instruments, Inc. help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted KSD 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move KSD to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 KSD to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the KSD file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
