In your opinion, how close is this algorithm detection to Auto-Key 2 by Antares ?

Hi Mate, this device uses the Krumhansl-Schmuckler algorithm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dps2gSiFVbs
In my (biased) opinion I think it stacks up extremely well against the major plugins.

Include details of your OS, Ableton version, and an explanation of exactly what is happening.
This was developed in Ableton 12.3 and works flawlessly in my setup. If we can’t fix your issues I’ll send you a refund.
