Find the musical key of any song. Drop in an audio file and Solmi detects the key (like A Minor or C Major), its Camelot code for DJ mixing, and the BPM — no upload, no signup, and your audio never leaves your device. Supports MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC.
Upload an audio file and Solmi analyzes it directly in your browser — it decodes the audio, builds a chromagram (how much energy the song has at each of the 12 pitch classes), and matches that profile against standard major and minor key templates (the Krumhansl–Schmuckler method). The best-matching of the 24 keys wins. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
Very reliable for most popular music, which stays in one key with clear harmony. Treat it as a strong estimate: heavily chromatic music, key changes mid-song, detuned recordings, or ambient tracks without clear harmony can be ambiguous. A common near-miss is the relative key — A Minor and C Major share the same notes — so if the result feels off, try its relative first.
The Camelot wheel maps each of the 24 musical keys to a simple code — a number 1–12 plus 'A' for minor keys or 'B' for major keys (A Minor is 8A, C Major is 8B). DJs use it for harmonic mixing: songs whose codes are identical, one number apart, or the same number with the other letter blend smoothly together.
The key names the tonal center and whether it's major or minor — for example, A Minor. The scale is the set of notes that key uses. A song 'in the key of A Minor' mostly builds its melody and chords from the A natural minor scale. Key finders report the key; the matching scale follows from it.
