HoRNet SongKey MK4, the latest version of our key chords and tempo detection tool
We have just released SongKey MK4.
This latest version of our key, chord, and tempo detection tool features improved detection, performance, a new keyboard view, and a standalone app that controls other devices and DAWs using MIDI clock.
HoRNet SongKey MK4, our fourth key recognition tool, does more than simple key detection. It also identifies chords and song tempo.
We added MIDI input to detect the chords and key of MIDI tracks. MIDI output lets you record and edit the recognized chords. Additionally, SongKey MK4 includes a new standalone version that generates MIDI clock to sync all your MIDI gear with live audio.
This update enhances accuracy in key recognition, chord detection, and tempo measurement. We improved the “chromagram,” which now considers a wider octave range and filters out minor tuning issues.
Our artificial intelligence unit processes the audio to detect chords, including sevenths, fifths, and suspended chords. We built a new key detection engine that uses another AI unit based on a statistical chord progression model. This model analyzes chord sequences to determine the song’s key in real-time. SongKey MK4 detects key changes without needing a reset and works offline within your DAW.
The GUI displays two chromagrams: one for chord recognition and one for key recognition. It also includes a keyboard display to show which keys are being played. This feature is particularly useful for acapellas or samples, helping you identify the key and choose complementary notes for your track.
We designed a scalable, vector-based GUI that looks great on any display, even when enlarged. The standalone app for macOS and Windows allows you to analyze sound from other apps or live recordings. It generates MIDI clock from the detected tempo to sync with other DAWs or sequencers.
SongKey MK4 is ideal for situations where you need to find a song’s key without an instrument. DJs can also use it to create mashups by understanding the key of different tracks. The chord detection feature helps design bass lines and pads.
SongKey MK4 is available for just 13,99€ owners of any other version of SongKey can upgrade for just 2,99€
