How to open NBKT file?

The most common problem when using Native Instruments BATTERY Audio Data Format is that a specific NBKT is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that NBKT 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 NBKT 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 Battery

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Battery is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Battery into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NBKT with Battery. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NBKT files.

Programs to open NBKT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Battery with NBKT files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NBKT file still does not use the Battery 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 NBKT file with the Battery program.

Step 3. Update Battery to the latest version

If, however, after binding Battery with Native Instruments BATTERY Audio Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Native Instruments, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to NBKT 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 operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBKT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover NBKT 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 NBKT 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NBKT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NBKT 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. Copying the NBKT file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the NBKT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBKT file again. However, some background programs may block the NBKT file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
