Roadie Tuner Free Download [CRACKED]

Roadie tuners are automatic stringed instrument tuners created and developed by the music-tech startup, Band Industries, Inc.[1][2] Roadie 3, the last iteration in the Roadie tuner family is compatible with stringed instruments that have a guitar machine head including electric, acoustic, classical and steel guitars, 6-7-12 string guitars, ukuleles, mandolins and banjos.[3] Roadie Bass is designed to tune bass guitars as well as the instruments Roadie 3 can tune.[4]

Roadie Tuner was created by two bandmates, Bassam Jalgha, an Arabic oud player, and Hassane Slaibi, a flute player.[2][5] The Roadie co-founders were both engineering students at the American University of Beirut when Jalgha wished there was an easier and faster way to tune his twelve-stringed instrument.[6] The idea of Roadie Tuner was then born. The first prototype of Roadie was created in 2009 during a reality TV show in Qatar: Stars of Science, where Jalgha won the first prize of $300,000.[7][8] In 2012, Jalgha teamed up with Slaibi and started the company Band Industries. The company joined the Haxlr8r accelerator program in Shenzhen during 2013.[8] In 2013, Band Industries launched its first Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund the Roadie Tuner.[9] By January 2014, the Roadie Tuner project tripled its initial goal[8] raising $178,613 from 2,002 backers[9] and the original Roadie Tuner was released to market. In 2016, Band Industries showcased the Roadie Tuner at the NAMM Show in Anaheim and became a NAMM member. Later, in May 2017, the company worked on their next generation products, Roadie 2 and Roadie Bass and raised $502, 931 with this second Kickstarter campaign. In 2020 Band Industries launched Roadie 3, their latest and most advanced tuner to date raising $449,310 in crowdfunding on Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Roadie 2 is the second-generation product in the family of Roadie automatic guitar tuners.[11] Roadie 2 automatically rotates the pegs of stringed instruments that have a guitar machine head including electric, acoustic, classical and steel guitars, 6-7-12 string guitars, ukuleles, mandolins and banjos.[12] Roadie 2 was upgraded from its predecessor to work as an independent standalone device which does not require the Roadie Tuner mobile application to function. For that, it has a built-in OLED screen and a selection wheel for users to choose their desired tuning out of preset alternate tunings or to access the string-winding mode when changing the strings on an instrument.[13] In contrast to the first-generation product, Roadie 2 uses a vibration sensing technology instead of a microphone, allowing users to accurately adjust their tuning in noisy environments as well.[14] The Roadie Tuner mobile app is an optional tool to use alongside Roadie 2[12] and enables users to create their own custom tunings and sync them to their Roadie device.[15]

The body of the tuner is about the size of a thick deck of cards. It has a soft rubbery coating that is a magnet for dust and lint (ick). On the front is a 4-way navigation button and an RGB LED 135 x 240 pixel screen.

Of course, before you can begin using this tuner, you will need to charge it. This is easily done with the included USB-C cable. Plug one end into the tuner and the other end into an open port on your computer or use an AC adapter. There is a small status LED that lights up red while the tuner is charging. According to Roadie, this unit has an extended battery life that allows it to tune more than 150 strings on a single charge.

There is a caveat though which I ran into the first time I tried to use the Roadie 3 tuner. It does NOT work with friction tuners. It only works with geared tuners. I have 2 ukuleles that have friction tuners and the Roadie unwound the strings instead of tuning them.

Necessary evils though they are, changing strings and tuning up have got to be two of the most boring and/or tiresome guitar-related tasks around. Band Industries offered a helping hand in November 2013 when a crowdfunding campaign was launched to bring an app-controlled motorized tuner named Roadie to market. The campaign was successful and the handheld robotic tuner recently became available to buy. Gizmag nabbed one of the first commercial units off the production line and has been whizzing and whirring away with gusto ever since.

After first trying out Tronical's Min-ETune system on a Gibson Les Paul a while back, which mechanically brings a guitar's strings to pitch at the push of a button, I've wanted in on this magical robotic tuner action. But I don't really want to swap out the stock heads on my favorite axes and don't see much point in buying into the tech for my cheap thrash-arounds either.

The controls and status indicators on the Roadie tuner are simple enough. There's a power on/off button on the side opposite the motorized peg connector, which is positioned for easy thumb operation when held in the palm of the hand. An RGB LED light strip at the top gives important clues about how the robot tuner is feeling at any given time. It will blink blue to tell you that it's waiting to pair with a smart device over Bluetooth, hold a solid blue when Bluetooth-connected, glow red with anger for an error, green to show that tuning is in progress and will provide a pulsing multi-colored mini light show while charging.

It looks like it's tough enough to survive life on the road and, at 3.4 x 2.8 x 1.3 in (87.3 x 71.2 x 32.4 mm) and 3 oz (85 g), it's a comfortable fit in the hand and lighter than all but one of my pocket chromatic tuners.

This is done by selecting an appropriate onscreen icon, placing the Roadie tuner on the appropriate peg and repeatedly plucking the matching string on the guitar. Calibration sees the motor drive the peg connector clockwise and anti-clockwise until the app is happy that everything's in order and starts to bring the string to tune. The process is repeated until all strings are calibrated and in tune.

The app also includes a manual chromatic tuner, so you can still tune up if you misplace your Roadie tuner, and wind/unwind icons for restringing assistance using the smart device's touchscreen instead of the manual rocker buttons on Roadie itself. And then there's something called the Instrument Doctor, which can help determine when an instrument needs a restring.

As a regular alternate tuner, I was pleased to find a number of non-standard tunings already programmed in. If a favorite isn't already listed, users have the option to create custom tunings and add them to the list. I found this feature to be very useful indeed. Switching between standard and Open E took less than a minute, then to Open G and back to standard, all with relative ease.

Tuning accuracy is reported as 1 cents over a range of 55 - 2,200 Hz. I compared Roadie's performance after each tune up with the array of chromatic tuners and stomps that have served me well over the years and found it to be pretty much spot on. I say pretty much because, as mentioned earlier, there were a very few occasions where Roadie seemed to lose its way mid-tune or throw up an error message if I moved the robotic tuner too much while its rather noisy motor was running.

During my time with Roadie, my handheld and pedal tuners haven't seen the light of day (other than to check the accuracy of Roadie's tuning prowess) and the manual peg turner has lost its place in my gig bag permanently. Were I to hit the road though, my stomp tuner would still retain its place on my pedalboard, for peace of mind and convenience. But Roadie would also be coming along for the ride.

The Roadie 3 cannot tune a bass guitar, presumably because the motor is not quite powerful enough for heavy bass strings. However, there is a special bass version of the Roadie automatic tuner available. 17dc91bb1f
