Camelot Wheel — Interactive Key Chart for Harmonic Mixing
The Camelot wheel numbers the 24 musical keys from 1 to 12, with A for minor and B for major. Pick your track's key below and the wheel lights up the keys it mixes with: the same code, one step either way, or the A/B switch on the same number. It runs in your browser, no signup.
Inner ring: minor keys (A). Outer ring: major keys (B).

How it works
A few simple steps. Your creative direction.
- 01
Find your track's key
Already know it? Pick it from the list. If not, run the file through the free BPM and key finder, which returns the Camelot code.
- 02
Select it on the wheel
Click the slice or choose the code from the dropdown. Inner ring is minor (A), outer ring is major (B).
- 03
Read the compatible keys
The wheel outlines the keys that share most of their notes with yours: one step clockwise, one step counter-clockwise, and the relative key.
- 04
Build the set or the video
Order your DJ set, mashup or EP tracklist by those moves, then bring the final mix into Echonos for beat-synced visuals.

Good to know
Harmonic rules are a starting point, not a law. Vocals, heavy distortion or a key change mid-song can still clash, so trust your ears on the final transition.
Some charts write enharmonic names differently (Db minor is the same key as C# minor, F# major the same as Gb major).
A little clarity
Frequently asked questions
What is the Camelot wheel?
It is a DJ-friendly version of the circle of fifths. Each of the 24 keys gets a number from 1 to 12 and a letter: A for minor, B for major. Keys next to each other on the wheel share most of their notes, so tracks in those keys blend without clashing.
Which keys mix with 8A?
8A is A minor. It mixes with 8A itself, 7A (D minor), 9A (E minor) and 8B (C major), its relative major.
How do I find the Camelot code of a song?
Drop the audio file into the free Echonos BPM and key finder. It detects tempo and key in your browser and shows the Camelot code, which you can then select on this wheel.
Is the Camelot wheel the same as the circle of fifths?
Yes, it is the circle of fifths relabelled with simple codes. Moving one number clockwise moves up a fifth; switching A and B swaps between a minor key and its relative major.
