Seaboard RISE Creator Manual
Getting started
2.4 USB connection
When connected by the USB type B port to a computer, the
RISE
acts as a USB MIDI controller. Its battery will charge when
connected to a computer that is plugged in (see Figure 5).
2.5 Bluetooth Connection
The
RISE
transmits MIDI over Bluetooth to compatible devices.
Jointly pressing and then releasing both Preset Switch buttons
begins the Bluetooth pairing process (see Figure 6). The Power/
Mode button blinks blue to indicate Bluetooth Pairing Mode
(see Figure 7).
When the USB cable is unplugged, the
RISE
automatically
enters Bluetooth pairing mode. You must complete pairing the
RISE
, however, by enabling Bluetooth and selecting the
RISE
on
the device that you are connecting. This prevents the
RISE
from
accidentally pairing with another device within signal range.
Press and release both Preset Switch buttons simultaneously
to exit Bluetooth pairing mode. Disconnect Bluetooth through
the device you are connecting to the
RISE
.
