TabKey is made to find the major and relative minor your scale is in.


Enter your notes as they would appear on your lowest string (deepest pitch and thickest gauge) starting with the lowest note possible. "0" is open, "1" is the first fret, and so on!

Once TabKey receives enough notes, it will show you the major and relative minor key that your notes are in. To try another scale or tuning, just enter in more numbers or change your tuning, and the program starts over!
TabKey Piano now finds scales based on your root note.TabKey Piano looks at your lowest note to find the root of your scale.

It then counts the spaces (intervals) between each note. Your root is the lowest note when your scale is finished, not the first note you enter.

If you select a note by mistake, just tap or click it again to remove it!

Yes! 100% free!
Sure will! Simply disregard the highest two strings in the tab diagram (B and high e in standard tuning).
You might be a beginner interested in music theory. Use TabKey to learn and experiment! Maybe you're a guitarist unfamiliar with sheet music or keys. Knowing what key your song is in can help you write more musical-sounding lead parts, chord progressions, or transitions.
Perhaps you're in the studio. Does your pitch correction plug-in accept keys? TabKey can help! Need the root note for your EQ or subharmonic exciter? Make mixing musical with TabKey. Need control over your synth or arrpegiator? Hello, TabKey! TabKey can serve many purposes. Let us know what YOU use it for!
That's great! Let us know on Facebook or Twitter so we can fix that noise as soon as possible. Thanks in advance!
Wonderful! TabKey currently only has a presence on Facebook and Twitter. If you're interested in communicating through either of those channels, I'd love to hear your idea!
TabKey has little more than basic functionality right now, but it's just getting started! There are new things in development and new ideas are on deck. However, potential features may be difficult to implement, and some might be impractical or impossible. In the interest of transparency, here I'll try to maintain a list of features in the works with the following disclaimer: Nothing is set in stone until it's live.
