Standing for 'Effects (FX) Bank,' the .fxb filename extension represents the VST/VSTi Bank (.fxb) file type. Initially developed by Steinberg and Propellerhead (later, Steinberg only), Virtual Studio Technology (VST) is a common plugin framework that enables adding realtime sound effects or instruments to a compatible Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) environment.
An .fxb file a VST or VSTi plugin, representing either a bank of special sound effect presets (VST) or sound-generating instruments (VSTi). Unlike .fxb files, each of which holds a set, or bank of VST or VSTi presets, single presets are saved with the .fxp extension. Either preset (.fxp) or bank (.fxb) can be loaded or imported in any VST-compatible DAW software. Some VST/VSTi plugins (.fxb, .fxp) are only intended for, and can be used with, a specific software synthesizer such as Sylenth. VST is currently the most popular and widely supported plugin format, with abundant sources of both free and paid VST/VSTi plugins for different DAW setups offered on the Internet.
