Full Disclosure: I occasionally take on freelance work at Sonicware on an hourly rate producing synth & sample sound design, beta testing, checking English text and videos like this.
EDIT: The Ambient 0 received a v1.1 update today which fixes a few bugs including one that makes an extremely loud noise in certain conditions. It's available here: https://sonicware.jp/pages/downloads
If you need help updating try the guide a videos below

While I was updating my Ambient 0 I decided to restore all the factory Noise layer samples and export them separately. They are available from the download section on Sonicware's website, but that a bulk backup which will overwrite all the noise samples at once. The bulk backup is restored by holding Oct Down on boot up, selecting N,B,IM (noise backup import), pressing OK and sending the midi sysex file into the device using the same method as shown in the update tutorial above. It takes over an hour to complete. The bulk version is here: https://www.sonicware.co.jp/DL/LIVEN_Ambient/Noise_backup.syx
With these separate files, boot normally and you can restore them from the noise menu (Func+lower left key) to send them in one at a time. Enter the menu, NS,IM (noise import) will be selected by default, select a slot to overwrite, press OK and then send in a file from the zip file below also using the same method as shown in the update tutorial above.
