TUNING BASICS
Basically there are two ways of tuning with NEWCOMER.
You can choose multi- or single-string mode.
●MULTI STRING MODE
If you push the ON-button briefly, NEWCOMER will turn on in mutli-string mode. As all LEDs will
be lighted RED you can just strum all strings evenly close to the neck and the NEWCOMER will
start tuning the strings. Let all strings ring 3-5 seconds. Make sure to let the strings ring properly.
If a string is in tune, the LED will switch from RED to GREEN. If all LEDs are GREEN your guitar is
in tune and Newcomer switches OFF automatically. If single LEDs remain RED please dampen all
other strings and pluck the ones with the RED LED single. If individual strings are far out of pitch,
NEWCOMER will automatically switch to single string tuning mode.
●SINGLE STRING MODE
If NEWCOMER is off and you push and hold the ON-button for approximately 3 seconds, the
system will turn on in single-string mode. Please pluck the strings individually. Start with the
low-E-string as indicated by “E” LED flashing RED. Please let the individually plucked string ring
for approx. 5 seconds and dampen the others. When the LED turns GREEN the string is in tune.
Dampen the tuned string and NEWCOMER switches to the next string indicated by a RED flashing
LED. Please pluck that string individually again in the same manner as before. If all LEDs are
GREEN your guitar is in tune and Newcomer switches OFF automatically. In single-string mode it
may take a little bit longer to tune the guitar, but it is indicated in loud environments or backstage.
The order of the strings shown on the display is as follows:
e-B-G-D-A-E
e= lightest gauge (1st string) | E= heaviest gauge (6th string)
NOTE: In some areas the B-string might also be called H-string
