About This Tool
Conceptually, the tool maps notes to pitch classes, compares the piece key against the target key, and computes a key match score based on scale congruence and mode alignment. If an audio or score input is supplied, it performs a spectral analysis to estimate dominant pitches and compute tuning deviation in cents relative to 12-TET. Outputs include a numeric score and optional tuning deviation that informs modulation choices and retuning needs.
Its value lies in combining key compatibility with tuning precision and providing actionable guidance in studio and classroom contexts. Core features include input validation for keys and modes, a numeric match score, optional audio analysis, and structured outputs suitable for annotations, charts, or batch processing. Use cases span song key verification, arrangement planning, rehearsal prep, and educational exercises that teach key relationships and tuning concepts.
How to Use
- Provide inputs including piece_key, target_key, and mode. Also attach optional audio_sample or indicate that only score based inputs will be used.
- If available, provide an audio sample to improve estimation of pitch content; otherwise supply the piece key and target key only.
- Run the calculation to generate the key_match_score and optional tuning_deviation values.
- Review the key_status, tuning_deviation, and any recommended adjacent keys to inform key decisions.
- If results indicate low match, adjust the piece key, target key, or mode and re run to evaluate improvements.
