How to open RBS file?

Step 1. Install Rebirth

Programs to open RBS file
Remember to download programs supporting RBS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rebirth with RBS files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the RBS file to open in the Rebirth application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the RBS file with the Rebirth program.
Step 3. Update Rebirth to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rebirth with Rebirth Song 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 Propellerhead Software AB website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RBS file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The RBS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the RBS file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RBS or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RBS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RBS 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular RBS file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Propellerhead Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RBS 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RBS 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RBS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
