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

Step 2. Create association of Reason with MIDICODEC files

If, despite the installed application, the MIDICODEC file does not start in the Reason application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the MIDICODEC file with the Reason application.

Step 3. Update Reason to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Reason program, it is possible that Reason Data Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Propellerhead Software AB page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MIDICODEC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MIDICODEC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MIDICODEC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of MIDICODEC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 MIDICODEC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MIDICODEC files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MIDICODEC to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file MIDICODEC to close. 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.
