How does it work.
Updating the DT-01 is done by sending the new firmware file to the DT-
01 in System Exclusive format (or simply SysEx).
Updating steps:
-Download the latest firmware version from our website.
-Install a midi program that has SysEx support in this manual we
are using MIDI-OX
-Connect the MIDI IN from the DT-01 with the MIDI OUT from the
computer running the MIDI software
-HOLD PARTIAL MUTE, 1 LOWER switch (button 5, see figure 1)
while turning on the DT-01. Nothing will happen, no lights will go
on. Now you can release the button. The DT01 is now in
bootloader mode.
-Open MIDI-OX and select the right midi output device that you
are using. Menu Options -> MIDI Devices
-Do NOT connect the midi out of the programmer.
