The notes in Ab major

AbBbCDbEbFG

Two keys blend when their scales overlap. That is all harmonic mixing is — the Camelot wheel is just a faster way to see it.

Key is half the answer

Tempo still has to line up, and a key detector that is wrong is worse than no key at all. Harmoniq gives every result a confidence score, so you know when to trust it and when to listen first.
