How to open MFF file?
An often recurring problem with Cakewalk MIDI is that MFF is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that MFF 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 MFF 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 SONAR
The first step is to check if the computer has the SONAR program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SONAR in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file MFF.
Programs to open MFF file
Remember to download programs supporting MFF files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SONAR with MFF files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MFF file still does not use the SONAR program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MFF file with the SONAR program.
Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version
If, however, after binding SONAR with Cakewalk MIDI there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Cakewalk, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MFF file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the MFF file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MFF file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected MFF file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of MFF 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.
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 option of recovering data from damaged MFF files. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file MFF 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the MFF file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MFF file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the MFF file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
