Key and tempo detection features: key, scale, BPM and A4 tuning
Put it on any track or the mix bus and press play: it shows the key and scale with how sure it is, the tempo to a tenth of a BPM, and the A4 the music is tuned to. Drop an audio file on it to analyse it faster than real time. Copy the result, or drag out a MIDI clip with the scale and its chords. The audio passes through untouched, with no added latency.
Key and scale
All 24 major and minor keys, with a confidence, the four best matches, the relative key and the key signature.
Circle of fifths
Majors outside, minors inside, each lit by how well it fits. The detected key glows and its relative key is outlined.
Keyboard
See what is sounding now, the long-term profile, the scale notes, the tonic and the scale degrees.
Tempo
BPM to a tenth, with half and double, your session's tempo for comparison, a beat lamp and a confidence.
Tuning
The A4 the music is tuned to, in Hz to a tenth and in cents from 440 Hz, with a needle.
Drop a file
Drop WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Ogg or MP3 on the panel and it is analysed faster than real time. Switch between the track and the file.
Use the result
Copy the key, tempo and tuning as text, or drag out a MIDI clip with the scale and its seven chords at the detected tempo.
Never in the way
The audio passes through untouched with no latency, and the last result is saved with your session.
Send the key (coming soon)
