How to open NABS file?
An often recurring problem with Native Instruments Absynth Sound Data Format is that NABS is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that NABS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NABS 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Absynth program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Absynth in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NABS with Absynth. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NABS files.
Programs to open NABS file
Remember to download programs supporting NABS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Absynth with NABS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NABS file still does not use the Absynth program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 Absynth application as the default for handling the NABS file.
Step 3. Update Absynth to the latest version
If, however, after binding Absynth with Native Instruments Absynth Sound Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 NABS 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 NABS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NABS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NABS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the NABS 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NABS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file NABS 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. Copying the NABS file to another location will fix the problem.
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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NABS to close. However, some background programs may block the NABS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
