The HoRNet SongKey MK3 is a professional tool designed to help musicians, producers, and engineers quickly and easily detect the key, chord, and tempo of any musical track, streamlining your workflow and enhancing your creative process.

What’s New in HoRNet SongKey MK3 3.0.4?

The new 3.0.4 version is primarily a maintenance release aimed at resolving a few important issues that some users experienced in previous versions. The update addresses a specific issue that caused certain DAWs to crash during the initialization of the plugin. These kinds of improvements are essential for ensuring that the plugin works smoothly and reliably across all major digital audio workstations (DAWs). The changes are designed to improve the overall experience of using SongKey MK3 and make it even more stable and reliable for professionals and hobbyists alike.

Fixed MIDI Issue with Cakewalk and Pro Tools

One of the key improvements in this update is the fix for an issue that caused Cakewalk and Pro Tools to crash when the “all note off” MIDI message was sent during plugin initialization. This problem was reported by some users who were experiencing crashes specifically when they loaded HoRNet SongKey MK3 into their session and had MIDI tracks that triggered note-off messages. The crash would occur during the initialization process, making it difficult to use the plugin in those environments.

With this update, the issue has been resolved, and HoRNet SongKey MK3 now works seamlessly with both Cakewalk and Pro Tools, even when note-off MIDI messages are present during the plugin’s initialization phase. This fix ensures a smoother workflow and prevents unexpected crashes, making SongKey MK3 even more reliable for music production professionals who rely on these DAWs.

Key, Chord, and Tempo Detection at Your Fingertips

While the latest update focuses on technical improvements, it’s important to note that HoRNet SongKey MK3 continues to offer its robust core features for key, chord, and tempo detection. The plugin is an invaluable tool for anyone working with music that needs to quickly identify the key, chords, or tempo of a track.

Whether you’re working on a remix, composition, or simply analyzing a piece of music, SongKey MK3 can help you break down complex musical elements with ease. The key detection algorithm works accurately, detecting both major and minor keys, while the chord detection feature can identify complex chords and even chord changes, allowing you to see the harmonic structure of a track in real-time.

Additionally, the tempo detection feature helps you identify the precise tempo of any track, even if it’s not provided in the metadata, which is often the case with stems or tracks you’re working with that might not have a clear BPM indication.
