About BANK
FMOD Studio is the app sound designers build a game's sounds and music in with FMOD. It builds them into .bank files: a Master.bank with the game's mixer, a Master.strings.bank with the names of its events, and banks of events and the sounds they play, which the game loads as it needs them.
A .bank is a RIFF file of FMOD's own, marked FEV, with the project's events, buses and parameters, and its sounds in an FSB5 sound bank inside it, in Vorbis, ADPCM, PCM or the console's own codec. A bank of events alone, like Master.strings.bank, holds no sounds.
Filepeek opens a .bank as a folder of the sounds in its FSB, named as the bank names them, and the one you pick plays at once with vgmstream, twice through its loop and then a fade. Export saves it as MP3 or WAV, and Save as ZIP or Extract all saves every sound as a WAV.

Questions
How do I get the sounds out of a BANK file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a BANK. Its sounds are listed like the files in a folder, and Save as ZIP or Extract all saves each one as a WAV.
Can I turn a sound from it into an MP3?
Yes. Pick it, choose Export, then Save as MP3 or WAV, and it's saved as it plays here, loop and fade included.
Why does Filepeek say a bank holds no sounds?
Master.strings.bank holds only the names of the project's events, buses and parameters, and some banks hold only events. The sounds are in the game's other banks, which open the same way.
Why won't a game's banks open?
FMOD Studio lets a game encrypt its banks with a key of its own. Filepeek carries no game's keys and takes none, so those don't open, and it says so.
