HoRNet SongKey MK3 is the all-new third version of our key finder plugin, but it doesn't do simple key recognition, it's also capable of detecting the chord being played and the song tempo. We thought it was a good idea to also add MIDI input (to be able to detect chords and key of midi tracks) and MIDI output for the recognized chords so you can record them and edit the track for your own needs.
At the core of SongKey we find the “chromagram” (a level representation of the intensity of each note playing in the song) but we spent a lot of time creating a more reliable and cleaner chromagram than the one of the previous version.
The new key detection engine builds on the chromagram and expands it with another unit based around a statistical chord progression model that analyzing the chord sequence is able to understand the key of the song, this has the great advantage that the key recognition is always realtime so you can change song without the need to reset the plugin, or if the song changes key in some part of it, the plugin will simply be able to detect the new chord sequence and follow the key change.
The all-new GUI is completely vector drawn and resizable, so it'll look good on any screen and can be made smaller or bigger as needed.
SongKey is very useful in that situation in which you don't have an instrument at hand to find out the key of a song you are working on or if you are a DJ and want to make a mash-up but you don't know in which key a song is written. The chord detection feature gives you insights on the chord progression of the song so that you can better design your bass lines and pads.
