File Extension Database

Open FAD File

The FAD file extension primarily represents timed machine data produced by Yamaha Disklavier electronic player pianos. These FAD files contain performances, rhythm styles, and musical compositions that can be read and played back by a Disklavier piano. As they are proprietary to Yamaha, these file types cannot be opened casually like you would a .pdf or .txt file. To use them, Disklavier users typically load FAD files directly onto their piano where the data is then executed.

Yamaha's official Disklavier product page provides more details about their digital pianos capable of using FAD files. You can also learn more about accessing and managing these files on the Yamaha Disklavier Education Network.

Rescue Disk Images

The FAD file extension can also refer to Farstone Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) files. FarStone Technology, a software company, uses FAD files for one of its products - TotalRecovery Tools. TotalRecovery Tools include a suite of recovery and backup software that helps to protect and recover data from your PC. The FAD files created by this software are bootable disk images used to recover systems in the event of a data disaster.

These FAD files, however, are not meant to be opened like traditional computer files. They are mounted as virtual drives to restore the system or retrieve data from them. TotalRecovery Tools can view, open, and execute these FAD files to restore a system to a previous, functional state.

FarStone Technology's official website contains more about their data recovery product and uses of FAD files in this context.

FAF*R Vector Graphic Files

Another format associated with FAD file extension is the FAF*R developed by a Finnish company, Right Hemisphere, mostly used in their technical illustration software, Deep Paint. In this context, FAD represents the vector file format, used to store scalable 2D graphics.

To open, edit, or view these FAD files, you need software like Deep Paint or another compatible program that can read and display FAF*R vector image files. There are several third-party graphics software that may potentially interpret these files.

FAD File Important Information

In summary, a FAD file can relate to distinct computer file types depending on the context. While primarily associated with Yamaha Disklavier player pianos, it can also refer to Farstone Virtual Hard Drive (VHD) files used in backup and recovery software, and FAF*R vector graphic files produced by Right Hemisphere.

The crucial aspect to remember when dealing with FAD files is knowing the source and purpose of the file. Only in this way can you accurately determine the application needed to open and use the file. Similarly, those unfamiliar with FAD files should beware of accidentally trying to open one, as it might lead to system failure if the underlying software doesn't understand that particular file's data format.
