On this chart, a DJ key is the musical key of a track written as a Camelot code. 8B is C major. 8A is A minor. The page converts between those codes and ordinary key names. It is not a software license key.

Which Camelot codes mix with the key I selected?

The usual neighbors are the same number with the other letter, the next number with the same letter, and the previous number with the same letter. For 8B those are 8A, 9B, and 7B. The wheel and the table both show that set.

Is this a key converter that changes the audio?

No. The converter on this page changes notation only: a Camelot code becomes a key name, and a key name becomes a Camelot code. It does not pitch-shift, time-stretch, or export a new audio file.

Can this chart detect the key of a song?

No. You choose the code or the key name. The chart does not analyze a recording, a stream, or a playlist.

Why is 8B at C major and not at the top of the wheel?

Camelot numbers increase clockwise, and 12 is drawn at the top so the circle closes between 12 and 1. C major is 8B, so it sits on the lower-right of this wheel, not at 12 o clock.

What is the difference between A and B?

A is the minor key and B is the major key for that number. Same number, different letter, is the relative major and minor pair.

Outer ring is major (B). Inner ring is minor (A). 12 sits at the top, then the codes increase clockwise.

8B converts to C major. The three mixes below stay within one step of that key.

What is a harmonic mixing chart?

A harmonic mixing chart maps the 24 musical keys onto the Camelot wheel used by DJ software. Each code is a number from 1 to 12 plus a letter: A is minor and B is major. Codes that share a number, or sit one step clockwise or counterclockwise with the same letter, are the usual compatible mixes. This page is a lookup and a notation converter between Camelot codes and key names. It does not detect the key of a song, and it does not pitch-shift audio.

What the DJ key chart shows

A Camelot wheel, a key-name converter, and the three neighboring codes for the key you select.

Camelot code and musical key: Pick a code such as 8B or a name such as C major. The other control updates to the matching notation. Enharmonic spellings used on DJ wheels, such as F♯ major and G♭ major, are listed together.
Relative major and minor: The same number with the other letter is the relative key. 8B (C major) pairs with 8A (A minor). Those two keys share a key signature.
One step around the wheel: The next number with the same letter is a perfect fifth up. The previous number is a perfect fifth down. The wheel wraps from 12 back to 1.
Full 24-key table: Every code is listed with its key name, relative code, fifth up, and fifth down. Click a code in the table or on the wheel to move the selection.
Notation only, on this page: Nothing is uploaded. The chart does not open a track, read BPM, or rewrite an audio file into a new key.

How to use the Camelot wheel

Start from the code printed on a track, or from a key name you already know.

1. Select the key you have: Use the musical-key menu or the Camelot-code menu. You can also click a segment on the wheel. The outer ring is major (B) and the inner ring is minor (A).
2. Read the three compatible moves: Stay on the same number and switch letter for the relative key. Move one number clockwise for a fifth up, or one number counterclockwise for a fifth down.
3. Convert the notation, then stop: If software shows 11B and you need the letter name, the chart says A major. If you know the song is in D minor, the chart says 7A. Changing the actual pitch of a file is a different job.

Read the codes the way DJ software does

The wheel is a map of keys, not a guarantee that two tracks will sound good together.

Match the code on the track, not a guessed name: A track tagged 5A is C minor on this chart. If the tag is wrong, the compatible codes will be wrong too. This page does not listen to the file.
Energy moves with the number: Going up one number, same letter, raises the key by a fifth and often feels brighter. Going down one number moves the other way. Jumping several numbers is a bigger harmonic change.
Treat enharmonic names as the same code: D♭ major and C♯ major are both 3B. The chart shows the spelling commonly printed on Camelot wheels, plus the alternate name when DJs use both.
Do not treat this as a key detector or a key changer: Selecting 8B does not analyze a song and does not export audio in C major. Use it to translate a code you already have.

Circle of fifths
“In music theory, the circle of fifths (sometimes also cycle of fifths) organizes the twelve pitch classes of the chromatic scale in a cycle of ascending perfect fifths.”
— Wikipedia — Circle of fifths
Moving one Camelot number while keeping the letter follows that cycle: the next code is a perfect fifth up, and the previous code is a perfect fifth down. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_fifths
Relative key
“In music theory, relative keys are the major and minor scales that have the same key signatures (enharmonically equivalent), meaning that they share all of the same notes but are arranged in a different order of whole steps and half steps.”
— Wikipedia — Relative key
The same Camelot number with the other letter is that pair. 8B and 8A are C major and A minor, which share a key signature. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_key
