To ensure proper operation of your Blocks, you will want to make sure you are charging them properly.
The Lightpad Block and Seaboard Block each has a USB type C port and comes with a USB type C to USB type A cable for charging.
The Live, Loop and Touch Blocks charge through DNA connection to a Lightpad Block or Seaboard Block. Live, Loop and Touch Blocks can be connected to NOISE separately but require the Lightpad Block or Seaboard Block to charge.
