What is TSI file?

The file with the extension TSI is the Settings Files file type. The creator of this file is Native Instruments. In addition to this file, the Settings Files category includes 1305 related files. Traktor Settings Format is supported by 2 operating systems. The file will work on Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The TRAKTOR application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Native Instruments, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs. You can use TSI VIEW & PRINT in case TRAKTOR cannot be used.

How to open TSI file?

The most common problem when using Traktor Settings Format is that a specific TSI is not associated with the program. This causes the file TSI to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TSI 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 TRAKTOR

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that TRAKTOR is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing TRAKTOR into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TSI files.

Programs to open TSI file

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

Step 2. Create association of TRAKTOR with TSI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TSI file still does not use the TRAKTOR 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the TRAKTOR application as the default for handling the TSI file.

Step 3. Update TRAKTOR to the latest version

If, however, after binding TRAKTOR with Traktor Settings Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Native Instruments, Inc. website or update the program from the application.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TSI 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. 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 TSI file. However, remember that not every infected TSI file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TSI file. 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TSI file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Native Instruments
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TSI 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.
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 TSI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the TSI file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TSI to close. However, some background programs may block the TSI file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
