Why Different DJ Software Uses Different Key Systems
The Camelot system was created by Mixed In Key as a simplified way to represent musical keys for DJs. Rekordbox adopted it directly. Native Instruments developed Open Key as an alternative for Traktor -it uses the same numbers but different letters (m/d instead of A/B). Standard musical notation (A minor, G major) is used by DAWs and music theory. All three systems map to the same 24 keys, so converting between them is straightforward. Use our Camelot wheel to visualize how they relate.
