Does it analyse the whole file, or just a sample?

The whole arrangement. The track is broken into overlapping windows across its full length, each analysed on its own, and the results combined with more weight given to sections carrying clear tonal information.

How does it handle half-time or anything outside 120–130?

Tempo is measured across the full track and the result isn’t snapped to a round number. Where a groove is genuinely ambiguous — half-time, shuffled swing, 87 against 174 — the plausible readings are weighed against each other.

What about tracks that change key partway through?

The engine works segment by segment and knows when segments disagree — that disagreement drives the confidence score down. A track that genuinely modulates lands in the amber or red band, which is the honest answer.

Does it write tags into my files?

Not yet, and it’s the biggest thing missing. You can export a CSV, or batch-rename files to 8A - 124 - Artist - Title, which most DJ software reads on import.

Does source quality matter — 320 against lossless?

Practically no. Key lives in the bass and low mids, and the analysis is built around that register. A clean 320 returns the same answer as a FLAC. Heavy clipping or a noisy rip does hurt.

I play vinyl rips and pitched edits. Will tuning throw it off?

That’s handled explicitly. The engine detects how far the recording sits from concert pitch and corrects for it before deciding — so a record cut slightly sharp doesn’t bleed into the neighbouring semitone.

Single-chord minimal, deep tech, modal techno — anything where tonality is genuinely ambiguous. Those come back amber or red rather than getting a confident guess.

Are my unreleased promos safe?

They never leave your machine. Analysis runs in the browser; no audio is uploaded, queued or processed on a server. Only the results sync to your account, and only if you’re signed in. There is one exception, and it is one you make on purpose: if you attach a track to a post or a message, that file is uploaded — because sending it is the whole point.

Full-track harmonic analysis that runs entirely in your browser. Every result carries a confidence score — because a key you can't trust is worse than no key at all.

The difference

Other tools guess. We tell you when we're guessing.

A key tag looks just as certain whether the detector nailed it or flipped a coin. Harmoniq scores how sure it is on every track, and shows you that number before you commit to the mix.

High confidence

94.3%

Seven in ten tracks of a working library. Trust these and move on.

Medium confidence

69.7%

Right more often than not, so give it a listen before you mix it.

Low confidence

flagged

Marked in the interface with a second-best guess. Verify by ear.

Agreement with Mixed In Key tags on 6,281 tracks from a working DJ library across four genres, with the confidence scale recalibrated on 8,004 tracks. High means 80 or above (seven in ten tracks), medium 60–79.

A wrong key told confidently is worse than an honest “I'm not sure”.

Minimal techno built on a single looping chord genuinely has no unambiguous key. Modal deep house sits between two answers. Instead of picking one and hoping, Harmoniq marks the track, shows its second-best guess, and lets you correct it in one click.

Every correction you make is saved — and shows us exactly where the engine still goes wrong.

Measured, not claimed

Benchmarked on the set the field is judged by.

There is a standard reference set for key detection in electronic music, annotated by listeners rather than by another algorithm. It is what the field publishes against. Most tools never put a number on it at all. Here is ours.

High-confidence tracks

on the 75% it marks confident

What those numbers mean in context. Published independent measurements put the best commercial and academic engines on this benchmark in the high sixties for exact matches, and the mid-seventies on MIREX. Widely bundled DJ software sits lower. Tonal-profile methods — still the basis of most free tools — land in the low sixties.

MIREX is the weighting used in music information retrieval: an exact match counts fully, a perfect fifth counts half, a relative or parallel key counts less. It exists because not every wrong answer is equally wrong — a fifth still mixes.

Measured on 224 annotated tracks from the human-annotated reference collection for electronic music, using the current engine. “High-confidence” means the engine reported 80 or above on its calibrated scale, which covered 75.4% of the set. Comparative statements refer to peer-reviewed measurements on the same material; annotation revisions differ between versions, so read cross-tool figures as indicative rather than exact.

Under the hood

Built for electronic music, not for Chopin.

Most detectors still run tone profiles derived from 1982 classical perception experiments. That's why they confuse relative keys on a house record. We rebuilt every stage of the pipeline around club music.

The toolkit

From a folder of files to a finished set.

Inside the app

Every key, every tempo, in one place.

Level New

Bring a whole crate to one loudness. Quiet tracks come up, loud ones come down, peaks stay under −1 dBTP — and every track shows exactly what was done to it.

Analyse

Drop a folder and the library fills in — Camelot code, BPM, energy and a confidence score for every track. Sort by any of them.

The Analyse screen: a library of eight tracks with Camelot key, BPM, energy bar and match column for each.

Track detail

Click into any track to see its structure — intro, build, drop, outro — mapped against bass weight and percussion, with the next best mixes ranked alongside it.

The Selected panel for one track: Camelot key, BPM and energy stats, a waveform split into intro, build, drop and outro sections with bass and percussion detail, and four recommended next tracks.

The wheel

Pick where you are and see every move that works — same key, a step up, a step down, or a switch to the relative major.

Community

Crates are better shared.

The best tracks still travel the way they always have — one DJ telling another. Harmoniq gives that a home, with the analysis already attached.
