The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VSTPRESET 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.

Programs to open VSTPRESET file

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

Step 2. Create association of Cubase with VSTPRESET files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the VSTPRESET file to open in the Cubase 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the VSTPRESET file with the Cubase application.

Step 3. Update Cubase to the latest version

If, however, after binding Cubase with Cubase Preset there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the VSTPRESET 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to VSTPRESET 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our VSTPRESET file. Sometimes virus-infected VSTPRESET files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the VSTPRESET 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 option of recovering data from damaged VSTPRESET files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VSTPRESET 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 VSTPRESET file to another location will fix the problem.
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 VSTPRESET to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
