Hi Iam using windows 10xp tried to use updater attempted to install first file i.e. boot sys. Holding down the rec when i open and get error message 'update failed. Timeout.,please retry. No other usb ports being used. Laptop restarted etc. Any ideas?
Are you releasing the record button after you choose open ?..
1) Hold down the REC button while powering on the DM10.
Windows users may see a Found New Hardware Wizard at this point – hit cancel.
It is OK to ignore any errors that you might encounter as they will not affect updating.
2) Open the DM10 Updater Application
3) (Windows only) Select the DM10 USB MIDI Interface from the MIDI Interface menu. On XP this will be called USB Audio Device.
4) Choose File and then Open and choose the .syx file in the 2 - DM10 Boot folder from the downloaded update.
5) Press and hold the Record button on the DM10 module and choose Open.Release the Record button.
6) The DM10 module will prompt to reboot. Power off the DM10.
7) Repeat steps 1 - 6 for each subsequent file.
These files need to be installed in a particular order. The order is as follows:
DM10 Boot - 1dm0-boot-vx.xxx.syx
DM10 App - 1dm0-app-vx.xxx.syx
DM10 Triggers - DM10_triggers_Vx.xxx.syx
DM10 Sound ROM - DM10_sound_rom-Vx.xx.syx
The installation is complete once all the files have been installed and the DM10 asks you to reboot a final time.
Note: If the update fails,
DO NOT power down the DM10. Instead, repeat the procedure above from step 2 onward.
