Allen & Heath has teamed up with US software designer, Mixed In Key, to offer new software which enables digital DJ's to analyse and harmonise tracks. 'Xone Mixed in Key' is Windows and MAC OS X software, which analyses MP3 and .WAV files, identifies the key of a track, and highlights which other tracks are harmonically compatible. This eliminates the possibility of key clashes whilst performing live, and allows the DJ to analyse their entire music collection, discovering compatible songs.
Xone Mixed In Key is available as a digital download at a RRP of $58 USD. Both Mac OS X and Windows versions are available.
