How to open ZYP file?
An often recurring problem with Propellerhead Reason Subtractor Synth Instrument Patch is that ZYP is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file ZYP 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 ZYP 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 Reason
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Reason is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Reason in it. 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 ZYP files.
Programs to open ZYP file
Remember to download programs supporting ZYP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Reason with ZYP files
If, despite the installed application, the ZYP file does not start in the Reason application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ZYP file with the Reason application.
Step 3. Update Reason to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Reason program with the Propellerhead Reason Subtractor Synth Instrument Patch file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Propellerhead Software AB website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ZYP 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ZYP file contents when downloading or copying. 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ZYP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ZYP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ZYP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ZYP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Propellerhead Software AB, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ZYP 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the ZYP 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
