How to open SYW file?

The main problem with Yamaha SY99/SY85 Audio Format is that the SYW file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SYW files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SYW 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 Awave Studio

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Awave Studio is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Awave Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SYW with Awave Studio.

Programs to open SYW file

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

Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with SYW files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SYW file still does not use the Awave Studio program, it means no association. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Awave Studio application as the default for handling the SYW file.

Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Awave Studio program with the Yamaha SY99/SY85 Audio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the FMJ-Software website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SYW file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SYW 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 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 SYW file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SYW files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of SYW file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SYW file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact N/A
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file SYW except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SYW file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 SYW to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SYW file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
