Camelot Wheel using Traktor's new "Open Key" notation
Camelot Wheel using Traktor's new "Open Key" notation Posted on: 23.02.2013 by Cristina Hoston In Traktor's most recent update (2.6.1 for those of you in the future), key detection was added using a new notation apparently called "Open Key". Personally I was already using Mix In Key and it's Camelot notation so I took a closer look at this new system and noticed that it is a one-to-one relationship (8A=1m, 9A=2m, ect.) but the numbers start on different keys. Since I am going to be switching to Traktor's key detection system now, I needed a new Camelot wheel to reference. I searched the web and didn't find any thing like this so I made one myself. I have attached the end result to the bottom, feel free to save it, print it out, stick it on things and graffiti it on government buildings.By the way, I tryed to get the wheel colors to match the ones in Traktor | |

| Tifany Cabero 02.01.2014 | For some reason the picture doesn't work for me? Can anyone convert it to a Jpeg? I've tried everything and the picture is just a very small white dot. |

| Dorene Wissen 22.10.2013 | Awesome! Thanks for this. I'm going to Rotate the Camelot wheel and this so they line up with the Circle of Fifths then print all 3 out and laminate them. I have MIK add Camelot to comments, Musical key to Traktor's Key Text, and now Traktor adds its' Key under the Key column. It was bad enough trying to figure out Camelot, now another system!!?? |

| Elroy Chillson 06.06.2013 | Hi guys, thanx for the new wheel...that's great. I've recently decided to revive my DJ hobby, having not played for a number of year. I've had my Traktor Kontrol S4 sitting at home collecting dust and never got a chance to really master using it, having switched from CDs a number of years ago (switched=made the decision but never really did dj using my controller). So here I am today, ready to get into it again, so started setting up my tracks, playlists etc....and this thread was really helpful in figuring out what the heck ins going on with Keys etc. Now my question to you guys is this: I understand from the above comments that Open Key is the essentially the same the Camelot wheel, but the problem I have is that when analysing the key in Mixed in Key the keys do not match at all. e.g. for a specific track I get 12m (traktor) Vs 7A (Mixed in Key v5) - what's up with that? Any ideas? Thanx |
| Weston Votaw 23.05.2013 | hiya :> i was just wondering (and it might be stuipd) but what do u need the circle or chart for when u have the numbers and the colors since u can sort by keys now, what use does it have? |

I have Traktor Kontrol S2 and since I downloaded the latest version, on my computer under Key Text I have some tracks analyzed by the Camelot Wheel (A1, B1, A2..etc.. I previously done in Mixed in Key) and other tracks were analyzed by the new system (7m, 3d..etc..) but it only happened in a few folders and on Tractor only (so files were not re-written in the actual folder on the computer). This means that both types of analysis appears in Key Text column at the same time, one type per track. I looked the settings - Analyze Options |

| Bea Brigham 23.03.2013 | Awesome, a key for keys Would I be right to assume that the outside circle denotes majors and the inside circle is minors? Because m = minor and d = major according to Traktor? |
| Hyo Burkowski 14.03.2013 | Awesome, thanks for everyones hard work and sharing with the community |
| Bridget Liner 12.03.2013 | Thanks for the wheel!!! |
| Daisy Mitri 28.02.2013 | Hey Robert and efekoo , thanks way cool! Here's a little fix on the typo OpenKeysTraktor.jpg .Cheers |
| Roy Houn 28.02.2013 | so basically, on the camelot wheel it says 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b and says like you can mix 2a with 3a or 1a etc its just the same for traktor but its 1m, 1d, 2m, 2d etc so 3m will go with 2m, or 4m etc? |
| Bernice Sroufe 28.02.2013 | wulfman did u make a new wheel? |

| Blake Ghany 26.02.2013 | Awesome! It looks like there may be two typos though - the smaller "1d" and "2d" should be "1m" and "2m," right? |
| Blake Ghany 26.02.2013 | Thanks a ton! |
| Khadijah Bucker 26.02.2013 | i really cant get it working, when i analyse a track it doesnt write any info |
| Valeri Millstein 26.02.2013 | Smooth. |
| Rosann Chestney 26.02.2013 | Thanks for the conversion chart, this is exactly what I was looking for! |
| Dick Korus 26.02.2013 | Thank you!!!! I'm going to print this and hang it up |
