How to open SXT file?

The most common problem when using Propellerhead Reason NN-XT Patch Format is that a specific SXT is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SXT, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SXT 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 Propellerhead Reason

In this case, you should first verify that the Propellerhead Reason application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Propellerhead Reason in it. 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 SXT files.

Programs to open SXT file

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

Step 2. Create association of Propellerhead Reason with SXT files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the SXT file to open in the Propellerhead Reason 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SXT file with the Propellerhead Reason program.

Step 3. Update Propellerhead Reason to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Propellerhead Reason program with the Propellerhead Reason NN-XT Patch Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SXT file

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

The SXT file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SXT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SXT or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected SXT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SXT file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SXT files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SXT 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move SXT to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SXT to close. However, some background programs may block the SXT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
