The .SDS file extension stands for MIDI Sample Dump Standard File. This type of file is used for storing sample data extracted from various musical instruments and audio hardware devices. It is usually created by Sampler program for music composition and mastering. The Sample Dump Standard (SDS) allows the instrument to transmit a sound sample stored in digital memory to another device, such as a computer or another hardware sampler.
Technical Details
The SDS file type stores metadata concerning the sample rate, bit depth, and compression length, as well as other data needed to define a sound. The metadata included in an SDS file may contain the name of the sample or instrument that was used to create the sample, or its origin and type. This type of file also stores details related to the stored sample's tuning, frequency range, resolution, channels, pan settings, note range, velocity range, and playback speed.

Compatibility
The SDS file format is supported natively by several digital audio workstation (DAW) software, like Logic Pro, Cubase, and Ableton Live, as well as music creation suites like Native Instruments KOMPLETE. It can be opened with specialized software such as MIDI editor programs like Cakewalk Sonar, Bitwig Studio, MIDIculous, or digital audio workstations such as GarageBand, and FL Studio.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .SDS) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .SDS extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .SDS file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .SDS extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .SDS extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SDS file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SDS file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .SDS file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SDS file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SDS file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
