WHATTHEKEY 3
DETECT EVERY NOTE. CONFIRM ANY KEY. NO GUESSING.
LIMITED INTRODUCTION OFFER
Why do I need WHATTHEKEY 3?
At its core, WHATTHEKEY 3 is an exceptional on-device neural transcription tool — its own neural network detects every single note in your audio. And because it sees every note, it nails the key and scale with a real confidence score, ranked alternatives and the relative major/minor. When a part is sparse or ambiguous, a built-in toolkit — sensitivity, note editing, a chord-progression preview and a guided Find-Key quiz — takes you from a guess to a 100%-confident result.
A NEURAL NETWORK THAT HEARS EVERY NOTE.
WHATTHEKEY 3 runs its own neural model on your device and transcribes your audio into real, color-coded MIDI notes. Push Sensitivity for every detail or pull it back for only the strong notes — it re-thinks the take instantly. Note-perfect transcription is the foundation everything else is built on.
EVERY NOTE → A CONFIDENT KEY.
Because it caught the notes, it scores the key with real confidence — up to three ranked alternatives and the relative major/minor right beside it, across nine modes (108 key/mode combinations). The chroma histogram shows exactly why, and fixing a stray note updates the confidence live.
A FULL EDITOR. DRAG IT OUT.
Open the full-screen piano roll to add, move, mute and delete notes with undo/redo, then drag the MIDI straight onto a synth in your DAW — tempo and time signature baked in. Or route MIDI in and listen to the notes instead of the audio.

THE WHOLE IDEA, IN THREE PARTS
- Awesome neural transcription
- An on-device neural network detects every note in your audio and turns it into editable MIDI.
- Smart key & scale detection
- From those notes it identifies the key across nine modes — with a confidence score, ranked alternatives and the relative major/minor.
- Not enough notes? No problem
- For sparse parts like vocals, the Find-Key quiz and a chord-progression preview let you confirm the key by ear and still reach a confident result.
100% CONFIDENT RESULTS. EVERY TIME. NO GUESSING.
Find the key, get the notes, and move on. That’s how it should be.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHATTHEKEY 3 works with any music software hosting VST3, AAX, or AU plugins—like Ableton Live, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Logic, GarageBand, Cubase, and Reaper. Both Windows and macOS (including M1 and higher) are supported.
It starts with transcription, not guessing. Its on-device neural model detects every note in your audio, then scores the key and scale from those notes across all 12 roots and 9 modes — with a real confidence read and ranked alternatives. The more notes it sees, the more certain the result.
That is exactly when the toolkit kicks in. Adjust Sensitivity to recover subtle notes, delete strays (a singer gliding or a vibrato note can fool any detector), audition a chord-progression preview against your audio, or run the guided Find-Key quiz to confirm the key by ear — and reach a confident result anyway.
Yes. The transcription lands in a full editable piano roll — add, move, resize, delete and mute notes, with full-screen, zoom and undo/redo. Then drag it straight onto a track or export a Standard MIDI File, with tempo and time signature embedded.
No. It is an analysis and utility plugin — your audio passes through completely untouched while it listens. It only makes sound on purpose: when you play back the transcription, audition a chord progression, or preview a note.
WHATTHEKEY 3 is a completely new, neural approach. It does not just name the key — its on-device neural network transcribes every note, so you get a full editable piano roll, host-synced capture and playback, nine modes (108 key/mode combinations), a chroma histogram, the Find-Key quiz and drag-out MIDI export.
I'm super confident you'll love WHATTHEKEY 3, but if you discover it's not the perfect fit within 30 days of purchase, just reach out. I'll handle a smooth license transfer and give you a full refund—no hassle.
