Power and recharging
Roadie 3 has an extended battery life that can tune-up to 150 strings on a single charge, and is
USB-C rechargeable. Though we strongly recommend using the charging cable included in the box,
you can use other compatible USB-C chargers. Here's an example of a
USB-C cable that is supported by Roadie.
To turn Roadie on, simply press the power button at the top. To turn it off,
long-press the power button for 3 seconds.
Start using Roadie
STEP 1: Add an instrument
To tune your instrument, the first thing you will need to do is to create an instrument profile for it on
your Roadie 3.
● Turn on your Roadie by clicking the power button at the top
● Select Tuner > Add Instrument > Select your instrument type > Choose the number of
strings > Name your instrument > Press and hold the right navigation button to save
It is important that you create an instrument profile for each
of your guitars, even if they are
of the same type so that Roadie can learn about them and tune them better over time.
Your newly added instrument will be saved and set to standard tuning by default. For example, if
your instrument is a 6 string acoustic guitar, the tuning will be set to E2/A2/D3/G3/B3/E4. You can
easily change the tuning or create your own custom tunings. If you cannot find the instrument type
you would like to add, you can easily create a custom instrument using the Roadie Tuner mobile
app.
STEP 2: Start tuning
To begin tuning your instrument:
● Turn your Roadie on and enter the Tuner menu. Select an instrument from the list displayed on
the screen
● By default, Roadie will begin with the first tuning peg (the one closest to you). For example, if you
are tuning a 6 string guitar in standard, that would be E2. However, if you want to jump straight to
a particular string, you can use the navigation buttons (up and down) to change the selected note
● Place Roadie’s peg connector on the tuning peg of the note displayed on the screen
● Pluck the string. Roadie’s motor will rotate the peg. Wait until the rotation stops. Once Roadie
beeps, vibrates and the note turns green on the screen, that means the string is in tune.
Otherwise, keep plucking the string until this occurs
● Once in tune, the selection will automatically jump to the next note
● Turn off Roadie 3 by long-pressing the power button for 3 seconds
That's it for the basics. Now, there's a whole bunch of tuning settings you can control in order to get
the best out of your instrument. For instance, Roadie lets you choose from 150+ built-in tunings,
tune with a capo on, set the mode to "tune-up", create custom tunings, change your A4 reference
pitch, switch to High Accuracy tuning mode, and more!
About the companion mobile app
Roadie 3 comes with a companion mobile app. We strongly recommend connecting your Roadie 3
to the Roadie Tuner mobile app in order to store all of your instrument profiles, make easy
customizations, and receive the latest firmware with feature updates and improvements.
Other Roadie 3 functions
Though Roadie is indeed a small device, it comes with BIG possibilities.
You can use Roadie to quickly restring and tune in one single step, it makes changing strings a lot
less tedious.
You can also turn on Roadie's vibration/beep metronome and feel the beat, this will help you keep a
tight rhythm.
Tuning Settings
We wanted Roadie 3 to be all about the details. Here are some of the little things that show our
fellow musicians that we use what we make and that we listen to your needs.
How to change your tuning
There are over 100 built-in alternate tunings in Roadie 3 and it’s never been easier to switch
between them.
To change tuning:
●Select your instrument
●Click right to enter the Instrument Settings screen
●Change the "Standard" tuning to the tuning of your choice
●Exit the Instrument Settings screen
How to tune with a capo on
If you would like to tune with a capo on, then we got you covered!
You can tell Roadie where you placed the capo so that all of your preset tunings will still work
perfectly.
To select the capo:
●Select your instrument
●Click right to enter the Instrument Settings screen
●Navigate to "Capo" and select the fret number where you placed your capo
●Exit the Instrument Settings screen
Note: Roadie allows you to choose a capo fret between -4 and 12. You might be wondering what
the negative capo value means? Well, we created this option in case you would like to tune a half
step, full step, or even 2 steps down. For example, if you select capo -1, Roadie will tune your guitar
a half step down. Sure, you can always choose the “Half Step Down” tuning but this might just be
quicker for you!
How to change the A4 reference pitch
The reference A440 Hz setting is customizable in 1 Hz increments from 420 Hz to 460 Hz.
To change the reference pitch:
●Select your instrument
●Click right to enter the Instrument Settings screen
●Navigate to "A4: 440Hz" and select your preferred reference pitch
●Exit the Instrument Settings screen
How to change the tuning accuracy
If you are looking for higher accuracy (like when recording your jams for instance) you can change
the tuning mode to High Accuracy. By default, your Roadie device is set to Fast Tuning mode,
which delivers accurate tuning as fast as possible for your everyday practice.
To change the tuning accuracy:
●Turn on your Roadie
●Scroll down to Settings and click right to enter the settings screen
●Select “Accuracy” right click and choose your mode (Fast Tuning or High Accuracy)
●Press back (Left) to save
How to enable Tune-up
While it might take a little longer to tune, ending a tuning by tightening the string ensures your
instrument stays in tune longer. This will also help you get the best sound out of your instrument.
Tuning in this fashion Roadie brings the string down below pitch then tightens it back up to the
correct tuned pitch.
To activate/deactivate tuning up, navigate to "Tune Up" in "Settings" on your Roadie or in the
Roadie Tuner app.
Press "Sync" to send the changes to your Roadie.
