Bugfix update for the key and chord detection utility
We are excited to announce the release of the latest update for SongKey MK3, the advanced Key, Chord, and Tempo detection utility that helps you analyze and identify the musical elements of your tracks with ease. This tool has been an essential part of music producers’ workflows for years, offering a fast and reliable way to determine the key, chords, and tempo of a track, which can be a real time-saver when composing, mixing, or collaborating on projects.
The new 3.0.7 version of SongKey MK3 introduces several important improvements and fixes that enhance the overall performance, stability, and usability of the plugin. With an improved user experience and additional features that focus on providing a smoother workflow for producers, SongKey MK3 is now more powerful than ever before. Here’s a breakdown of the key updates in SongKey MK3 version 3.0.7:
One of the most significant additions to SongKey MK3 in this update is the introduction of GPU acceleration for the GUI (Graphical User Interface). With the ever-growing demands of modern DAWs and plugins, the speed and responsiveness of the interface are crucial for producers working on larger projects or those who use multiple demanding plugins simultaneously. The new GPU acceleration ensures that the plugin’s interface responds much faster, making it easier to interact with the software even when handling larger or more complex musical compositions. This update provides a smoother user experience and reduces any lag or delay when navigating the plugin, especially when used alongside other demanding audio applications.
As part of our ongoing effort to streamline development and focus on the latest technological advancements, we have decided to remove 32-bit support for both Windows and macOS versions of SongKey MK3. This change allows us to concentrate on 64-bit systems, which are the standard in most modern DAWs and production environments. By removing 32-bit support, the plugin will run more efficiently and with better performance on modern systems. This transition will also help to improve the stability of the plugin, as it allows us to focus on optimizing features for the 64-bit architecture, which is more stable and faster compared to older 32-bit systems. It’s important to note that most modern DAWs have already moved away from 32-bit support, so this update should have minimal impact on the majority of users.
Some users encountered an issue where the window size of SongKey MK3 didn’t display correctly when using high-DPI monitors with text zooming settings on Windows systems. This issue caused the plugin window to appear incorrectly sized or distorted, making it difficult for users to work with the interface. In version 3.0.7, we’ve addressed this bug, ensuring that the plugin’s window now scales properly on high-resolution displays. The update ensures that the plugin interface will now match your desired zoom settings, allowing you to work more comfortably on high-DPI monitors without any issues. This fix ensures that the GUI scaling is now consistent and seamless, improving the user experience for those with high-resolution screens.
Users on macOS Big Sur experienced an issue in previous versions of SongKey MK3 where the plugin’s GUI would not redraw correctly after certain interactions. This bug could interrupt the workflow and lead to visual glitches when using the plugin. In version 3.0.7, this issue has been fully resolved, allowing the plugin’s interface to display correctly and update as expected. The GUI rendering is now smoother and more reliable, ensuring that the user can interact with the plugin without encountering any visual inconsistencies. This fix enhances the overall functionality of the plugin, especially for users on macOS Big Sur, providing a more stable and professional experience.
While this update includes some important fixes and improvements, the core features that make SongKey MK3 a valuable tool for musicians and producers remain unchanged. With its advanced key detection, chord recognition, and tempo analysis capabilities, SongKey MK3 allows you to quickly determine the key signature, chord progressions, and tempo of any track you import into the plugin. Whether you’re working with audio files or MIDI, SongKey MK3 can instantly analyze your track and display the relevant musical data, allowing you to make informed decisions about your production.
Additionally, SongKey MK3 is designed to be easy to use, with a simple yet powerful interface that gives you all the necessary information at a glance. The updated GPU acceleration ensures that even larger tracks are analyzed quickly, making it an essential tool for real-time music analysis during both composition and mixing sessions. With the ability to detect multiple chords, scales, and tempo changes in a single track, SongKey MK3 is ideal for both beginner producers who want to learn more about music theory and experienced professionals looking for a fast and accurate way to analyze tracks during the mixing process.
As always, this update is free for all existing owners of SongKey MK3. If you are already a registered user, you can easily download the latest version by logging into the user area on our website. Once logged in, you will have immediate access to the updated version. Simply download and install it to enjoy the new features, fixes, and improvements.

We encourage all users to update their plugins to ensure they have the latest version, which will provide a smoother, more efficient experience while analyzing your music.
