Sample Library Installation Instructions
Warning:
Installing a new sample library will completely remove the default sound library, including any
saved settings. We recommend saving your current user memory on your computer so you can
use it in the future. Please follow the instructions above to save your memory as a System
Exclusive (.syx) file on your computer.
Prepare your setup for the installation
1. Begin with the DM10 disconnected from your computer.
2. Disconnect any 5-Pin MIDI cables connected to the DM10’s inputs or outputs.
3. Disconnect any other USB MIDI, or USB Audio devices which are connected to
your computer.
4. Exit any applications on your computer which might use MIDI.
5. Now connect the DM10 to your computer using a USB cable. The above
procedures will ensure that the DM10 only receives data from the Updater
application.
Perform the installation:
6. 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.
7. Launch the DM10 Updater Application.
8. (Windows only) Select the DM10 port from the MIDI Interface menu. On XP this
will be called USB Audio Device.
9. Next, drag-and-drop the update files (one at a time) onto the DM10 Updater to
install.
Vista/Windows 7 users may be unable to do drag-and-drop operations – Click
File > Open and search for the .syx file to install.
10. The installation is complete once the DM10 screen tells you to restart. This
should take approximately 20 minutes. If the update fails, repeat the procedure
above from step 7 onward.
