Choose the next track in a nearby key. The Key Wheel filters the library.
Harmonic mixing is picking the next track in a key that sits next to the one that is playing, so the room does not wince. The DJ still picks the song. Auto mix plays the list that was built. That is Professional DJ software doing analysis.
Key — the tonic and major or minor of the track, from analysis. Camelot is marked A and B. Open Key is marked m and d.
Circle of Fifths — keys a fifth apart sit next to each other. Neighbours mix. Jumping a tritone often does not. The Key Wheel draws that circle. You select two, three, four keys. The grid keeps those rows.
Offset — offset chooses the notation. Camelot is hour offset 8, marked A and B. Open Key is hour offset 1, marked m and d. Any other offset is labeled Key Hour. The center of the wheel switches the whole app between that hour notation and the circle of 5ths.
Sharp and flat — the relative sharp and the relative flat appear when a key is picked.
Signature — 4/4, 3/4, 6/8 and the rest. Beat skip and loops count beats from that grid. A waltz is not a four-count loop unless you change the signature.
1. Analyze the library. BPM, key, signature land on the song. Until that runs, the Key Wheel has nothing to click.
2. Open Key Wheel. Click the keys that fit the track that is on. Two keys is a tight mix. Four is a wider floor. Audio Features and Musical Signature are their own filters.
3. Smart Color Coding can colour the Key column so you read compatibility without opening the wheel every time. Smart Filters hide; brushes highlight. Use both if you want a short list that is still painted.
4. Relative Songs is songs close to this one, by the rules you set. Use it when the wheel is too much and you only want neighbours of the row you are on.
5. In Full DJ Deck you can pitch-shift key without changing tempo, per stem or on the whole track, if the next song is a semitone off and the room will not wait. Advanced Stem Separation History of Stems. That is a correction, not harmonic mixing. Harmonic mixing is picking a neighbour. Pitch shift is forcing a match.
