The SMP file extension is one of many proprietary formats created by the developers at MakeMusic. It is commonly used with the company's proprietary music notation software, also called SmartMusic. More specifically, SMP files are categorized as performance files, since they store the musical content entered into SmartMusic alongside playback and editing settings.
Features and Uses
SMP performance files store all of the information associated with a musical composition, including the notes played, instrument used, tempo changes, notation instructions, and metronome settings. In addition to these standard features, a SMP performance file also stores audio data that was recorded via MIDI device. This allows for a greater level of control and accuracy when adjusting and manipulating the music in SmartMusic. Other popular file extensions for related media include MUS/MIDI/MUSX/Mids/KAR.
Compatibility & Collaboration
The primary purpose of SMP files is to provide an efficient platform for storing and trading music among users of SmartMusic. The software is used by professional musicians, educators, aspiring classical players, and a wide variety of other users who need digital scores for their compositions. Users are able to share SMP performance files through email or other electronic communication methods. Additionally, users can also export their performance files as a different file type for further editing or manipulation with compatible music production software.
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 .SMP) 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 .SMP 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 .SMP 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 .SMP 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 .SMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .SMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .SMP 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 .SMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .SMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .SMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
