Thank you!

I’m learning guitar and finding a key for a song is such a mystery sometimes. This is exactly what I was looking for. No ads I don’t think, I haven’t run across anyway. So only complaint is that there’s no way to tip you! :) Led display very cool touch by the way.

What?…

…No Seriously, What?

This makes no sound let alone sense.

Just get the Antares one, you don’t need an active autotune sub for it to work

PLEASE BRING IT BACK

This was very useful for those who don’t know music theory. Just holding the key down to lock it in and eliminate the keys that it’s not in is so simple but so effective! PLEASE BRING IT BACK

FAQ

What does KeyFinder do?

KeyFinder helps you determine the musical key of a song. You can use its built-in piano keyboard to play along with the melody. By confirming notes that match the song, the app progressively narrows down the possibilities to identify the song's key.

How do I use KeyFinder to find a song's key?

Play a song and use the integrated piano keyboard to play notes that you hear in the melody. As you confirm notes that coincide with the song, KeyFinder will analyze this input to identify the most likely key the song is in.

Is KeyFinder free to use?

Yes, KeyFinder is available for free. The application does not have any in-app purchases or advertisements, allowing for an uninterrupted experience.

What can I do after finding a song's key?

Once you know a song's key, you can explore further learning opportunities. The app's developer, Scoreless Music, offers resources to learn how to play songs in any key, which can be found on their website.
