How do I calibrate my Roadie 3?

In the rare event that your Roadie 3 does not perform well with your instrument, especially custom instruments, a calibration will help.

To perform a calibration, all you have to do is:

Turn on your Roadie 3
Select your instrument profile
Press the right navigation button to enter the tuning settings
Navigate down and then select "Calibrate Instrument" by pressing the right button once more
Hold down the right button to confirm

The Roadie will jump back to the tuning screen but you will notice a new status on the screen "Calibrating". Once switched on, just tune every string as you would normally do. Each one will undergo a calibration process during which Roadie will tighten and loosen the string.

Calibration is important because each instrument profile on Roadie 3 saves the calibration characteristics of that particular instrument. This is particularly useful if you have different string gauges or tuning gears on different instruments.

Note: this process takes a bit of time. Calibration is turned off automatically whenever you exit the instrument profile or if you switch your Roadie off.
