Notation Systems

Which System Should You Use?

Rekordbox & Mixed In Key: Camelot (1A-12B)
Traktor: Open Key (1m-12d)
Serato, supports both Camelot and standard musical keys
Ableton / DAWs, standard musical key notation

Why three systems for the same 24 keys? The Camelot system was created by Mixed In Key as a simplified way to represent musical keys for DJs, and 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 what DAWs and music theory use. All three map 1:1, so 8A = 8m = A minor, and the chart below shows every equivalence.

Key Theory

What Is Harmonic Mixing?

Harmonic mixing means selecting DJ tracks in compatible musical keys. This Camelot key chart maps every Camelot code, Open Key code, and musical key so you can find safe matches, energy moves, and mood swaps quickly. It is the same 24 codes as a camelot wheel chart, laid out as a sortable harmonic mixing table instead of a circle. Check two tracks with the key compatibility checker, or grab the printable Camelot cheat sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

That is exactly what it is meant to be: one page with all 24 keys, their Camelot and Open Key codes and their compatible neighbours, so you can check a pairing without thinking about theory. If you want the same thing as a printable circle rather than a table, the Camelot wheel cheat sheet is the version to put on the booth wall.

A DJ key chart maps all 24 musical keys to their Camelot (1A-12B) and Open Key (1m-12d) codes and shows the compatible keys for each one. DJs use it to pick tracks that mix in tune: stay on the same code, move one step around the wheel, or switch between the major and minor of the same number.

Harmonic mixing is the practice of mixing tracks that are in compatible musical keys, ensuring transitions sound smooth rather than clashing. DJs use the Camelot wheel or Open Key system to quickly identify which keys work well together without needing formal music theory knowledge.

Yes, it is the same 24 codes and the same compatibility rules. A harmonic mixing wheel arranges them in a circle, so each key sits next to the ones it blends with. This chart lays the same data out in rows: one per key, with its Camelot code, Open Key code, musical name, and the matches for an energy drop, energy boost, or mood swap. Rows are easier to sort, filter, and print. The circle is easier to scan mid-set.

No. Harmonic mixing is a guideline, not a rule. Many great mixes intentionally break key conventions for dramatic effect. However, staying in compatible keys makes transitions consistently smoother, especially during long blends where both tracks play simultaneously.
