Programs to open NCMM file

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

Step 2. Create association of MASSIVE with NCMM files

If, despite the installed application, the NCMM file does not start in the MASSIVE application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the MASSIVE application as the default for handling the NCMM file.

Step 3. Update MASSIVE to the latest version

If, however, after binding MASSIVE with NI Maschine Mikro Template 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 NCMM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NCMM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NCMM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NCMM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NCMM files changes over time. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NCMM files. 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NCMM 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NCMM 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NCMM 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.
