How to open STFX file?
An often recurring problem with SampleTank Settings is that STFX is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that STFX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STFX 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 SampleTank
The first step is to check if the computer has the SampleTank program installed. This can be achieved by typing SampleTank 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support STFX files.
Programs to open STFX file
Remember to download programs supporting STFX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SampleTank with STFX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the STFX file to open in the SampleTank 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 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the STFX file with the SampleTank application.
Step 3. Update SampleTank to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SampleTank program with the SampleTank Settings file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IK Multimedia Production srl page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STFX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to STFX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our STFX file. Sometimes virus-infected STFX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the STFX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STFX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IK Multimedia Production srl, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STFX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the STFX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the STFX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
