2. Real-Time Scale Detection
While previous versions focused heavily on the root key, MK4 places a larger emphasis on detecting the specific scale. It can now more accurately distinguish between:
- Major
- Minor
- Dorian
- Phrygian
- Lydian
- Mixolydian
- Locrian
3. What Does "Updated" Mean in Practice?
The "Updated MK4" (often version 4.1 or 4.2) includes:
- Better micro‑key detection – Distinguishes between
A# minor vs B♭ minor even when equal‑tempered tuning is ambiguous.
- Modulation tracking – If a song changes key (e.g., from C major to D major in a bridge), the MK4 can optionally follow the change in real time and mark timestamps.
- Improved minor vs. major confusion – Older algorithms often flagged a song as "C major" when it was actually "A minor" (relative minor). MK4 uses root‑note bass weighting to reduce this.
- Preset management – Save analysis settings for vocals, drum & bass, full orchestral, etc.
What’s New in the SongKey MK4 Update?
Hornet describes this as a major maintenance and feature update. Based on user feedback and internal refinements, here are the key changes:
Scenario B: Complex Modulation
You are scoring a film and the track modulates from E Dorian to G Lydian every 8 bars.
- The updated MK4's "Follow" mode locks onto these changes in real time. If you use it as a MIDI filter, it will change your allowed note set automatically as the song modulates. No automation lanes needed.
Who Should Install This Update?
If you already own SongKey MK4, the update is free (as always for Hornet’s point releases). Install it if you: This update is now available for download and installation
- Work with complex or non-Western tonal material
- Want a cleaner, resizable interface
- Use real-time input for composing or teaching
- Rely on ARA2 for fast workflow in your DAW
If you’re still on SongKey MK3, this is a good time to upgrade—the detection quality difference is significant.
