The file in the ROL format belongs to the Audio Files category. Additionally, the Audio Files category contains 771 of other files. Ad Lib Synthesized Instrument is most often found on 3 operating systems. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Audio Overload to handle this file.

The Winamp programs will also handle the file when the Audio Overload program does not fulfill its role.
How to open ROL file?
The main problem with Ad Lib Synthesized Instrument is that the ROL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ROL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ROL 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 Audio Overload
The first step is to check if the computer has the Audio Overload program installed. This can be achieved by typing Audio Overload into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ROL files.
Programs to open ROL file
Remember to download programs supporting ROL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Audio Overload with ROL files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ROL file to open in the Audio Overload application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Audio Overload application as the default for handling the ROL file.
Step 3. Update Audio Overload to the latest version
If, however, after binding Audio Overload with Ad Lib Synthesized Instrument there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Richard F. Bannister page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ROL 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to ROL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ROL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ROL 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 ROL file. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ROL file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ROL 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 ROL to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the ROL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ROL file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
