A question about sustain pedals - I get the impression that, with the seabord rise connected to the Kronos, the sustain pedal - connected to the Kronos, not to the Rise - does not seem to work right. It's like the polarity of different, but in the Rise dashboard I cannot seem to find a setting to switch the sustain polarity. Anyone else ran into this?

A couple links from Roli to help connect to external gear that is class compliant, which the Kronos is. For those who have asked how to connect to the Kronos.

Using Dashboard

Connecting to other USB gear

I received my Roli Rise 49 today. I'm having a problem with the pitch bending. If you set the joystick to +- octave on the Kronos and likewise in Dashboard, the notes only bend a minor third. That really defeats using this controller with the Kronos. Has anyone found a work-around for this?

Maybe this will help Phattbuzz.
Midi Messages with Rise

I am not a midi savvy person but as I understand this link the rise will work +/- 12 semitones minimum, set in the dashboard, and then set the Kronos to the same. I have not tired this yet.

I'm not sure what I did to fix the problem but it's fixed now. I had set both the Kronos and Dashboard to +/-12 for pitchbend but for some reason Dashboard and the Roli kept changing back to +/-48. The instructions say to unplug the USB and it should retain the value but that wasn't working. I tried shutting off the Roli while still connected to Dashboard and I think that may have done it but I was trying a lot of different things at the time.

I have had a bit of trouble with retention of settings as well. I don't really have a work around that is consistent, though I did change it once from the Noise app on an iPad and the controller retained the settings after disconnect.

Roli really needs to allow the saving & recall of different profiles in the Dashboard program.

Just out of curiosity, when you made the settings you hope would have been saved where you using bluetooth to connect to Dashboard or wired in with usb? I wonder if that makes a difference?

Have you tried Roli support? I have had a multitude of questions and submitted them through support. Took a day or two to hear back, because I usually post on a weekend, but they are quick and have been great to work with!

Their service is great. Known issue.

@Phatbuzz I had the same pitch bending issue. Set Kronos to -/+12 and ditto on the Rise and it will work correctly. Here is the relevant support page: https://support.roli.com/article/setting-the-ideal-pitch-bend-range/

I think the problem I had had to do with the order of how I set up the Dashboard. Before setting up the MIDI assignment of channels, set up the pitchbend first. When I did this in the correct order it worked correctly and saved to the unit. So reset the Dashboard first so the MIDI assignment are the factory default. I had first set up the Midi Channels so they were using 9-16 and then set the pitchbend to +/-12.

Have you all found the SEABOARD taking your time away from your other boards? I have the Rise on daily the Arp weekly and my poor Kronos hasn't been on since December! I think tomorrow it will be time to join the two.
