This tool allows you to recognize the pitch and scale of the sources it analyzes. It also improves your workflow with Auto-Tune. This plug-in will save you a lot of time even if you have musical and theoretical training and/or have a good "ear".

Determining the key and scale of a musical project is essential for pitch correction to be done efficiently and wisely. Auto-Key facilitates this process. It can also be used to choose samples adapted to the key of your project.

The Auto-Key plug-in is inserted on a track, analyzes the music in real time and then automatically detects and displays the key and scale of your track, as well as the tuning reference frequency. Then, click the "Send to Auto-Tune" button, and the compatible versions of Auto-Tune (Hybrid / Artist / EFX+ / Access / Harmony Engine) will be automatically updated with the correct settings.
