WHATTHEKEY 2

WHATTHEKEY 2 is the advanced successor to Phil Speiser's popular free key detection plugin. While the original focused on identifying the overall key of a track, this new version significantly expands its capabilities by adding real-time chord detection. This makes it an even more powerful tool for musicians and producers, providing not just the key of a song but also a live readout of the specific chords being played. It's the ultimate music theory assistant for deconstructing songs, learning to play your favorite tracks, or finding the right chords to complement a sample.

Like its predecessor, WHATTHEKEY 2 is incredibly easy to use. You place it on an audio track, and its advanced algorithm analyzes the harmonic content to display the current chord in real-time, in addition to the overall song key. This is immensely helpful for remixers trying to write new basslines or melodies over an existing track, or for songwriters who want to quickly figure out the progression of a musical idea. The interface remains clean and intuitive, clearly displaying the key, scale, and the currently playing chord. As another fantastic free offering, WHATTHEKEY 2 is an essential utility that bridges the gap between listening and understanding, speeding up the creative process for everyone.
