How to open STIP file?

The main problem with SampleTank Instrument Preset is that the STIP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open STIP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STIP 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SampleTank in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file STIP.

Programs to open STIP file

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

Step 2. Create association of SampleTank with STIP files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the STIP file still does not use the SampleTank 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. 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 set the program to handle this type. 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 SampleTank application as the default for handling the STIP file.

Step 3. Update SampleTank to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SampleTank program, it is possible that SampleTank Instrument Preset requires a newer version of the program. 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 STIP file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the STIP file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the STIP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected STIP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the STIP 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STIP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IK Multimedia Production srl
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted STIP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move STIP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the STIP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the STIP file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
