Open FPC File

The .FPC file extension has several uses, predominantly associated with FoxPro and FL Studio. The understanding of how to use these files depends largely on the specific software application they're meant for. This article will explain each of these uses and provide guidance on how to open and work with FPC files.

FoxPro Compiled Source FPC Files

FoxPro, a text-based procedurally oriented programming language and database management system, uses .FPC files as FoxPro Compiled Source files. These are the compiled versions of a FoxPro program, making them ready for execution without the need for an interpreter.

To open and use .FPC files in this context, you will need the appropriate version of FoxPro. Once FoxPro is installed, you can open a FPC file by selecting 'File' > 'Open', then choosing the .FPC file you wish to open. More information about FoxPro and its various versions can be found on the Microsoft Documentation.

FL Studio FPC Files

FL Studio, a digital audio workstation developed by Belgian company Image-Line, uses .FPC files for Fruity Pad Controller files. These files are used to store settings for the Fruity Pad Controller, a plugin used to trigger sounds with a MIDI controller or the clickable "pads".

To use a .FPC file in this context, you will need FL Studio. With FL Studio open, you can load the FPC plugin, then select 'Presets' and choose the .FPC file you wish to load. Further information can be found on the Image-Line's website.
