Connect over Bluetooth
Your Seaboard RISE can play Equator and other software
instruments when using any MIDI over Bluetooth-compatible
computer or mobile device. To prepare your Seaboard RISE
for Bluetooth pairing, simply switch it on without a USB
cable attached or detach the cable you already have plugged
in. You will notice the Mode indicator light flashing dark
blue. You are now ready to pair your device.
For more information on how to connect the Seaboard RISE
to your specific computer or mobile device, please check
out our Knowledge Base on roli.com/support/bluetooth.

Please note that you can charge your Seaboard RISE via the

The Seaboard RISE cannot be charged via the USB A port.

Using the 1/4 inch pedal jack
You can use a sustain or expression pedal by plugging
a 1/4 inch connector into the pedal jack on your Seaboard RISE.
Please note that part of the 1/4 inch connector will continue
to be visible after a secure connection has been established.

Caring for your Seaboard RISE
Using your Storage Case
The Seaboard’s unique silicone surface can gather dust over
time. We recommend cleaning the surface with cleansing
wipes regularly.
Your storage case will give you great protection for your
Seaboard RISE at home, on the go, or as an insert in
a flight case, but it has not been designed for rugged
use or international travel on its own.
