The metadata synchronization with Traktor DJ ( pictured at right) is likely related to the upcoming iOS app that Traktor has been teasing – something’s been brewing in Berlin, and odds are we’ll find out before too long what the full deal is – but metadata sync would seem to imply that the the app has some use for sending collection information backwards and forwards from the app. Mixed in Key Mixed In Key is award-winning DJ software that gives you the 1 technique of the worlds best DJs. Related: One of our forum members has done an initial analysis! The key is color coded when you sort your collection by key ( see below screenshot), and can be written out to the file tags.Īdditionally, it looks like the initial results from key detection in Traktor are a at least somewhat significantly different from the Mixed in Key results – might be time to do another Key Detection Throwdown article. In a musical score, the time signature appears at the beginning of the piece, as a time symbol or stacked numerals (such as or 3 4) (read 'common time' and 'three four time', respectively. Heres whats new: When calculating BPM with the OnsetPeak algorithm, beaTunes also calculates the time signature. The time signature (also known as meter signature) is a notational convention used in Western musical notation to specify how many beats are in each measure and which note value constitutes one beat.
#Beatunes time signature update
Todays update is not going to make beaTunes perfect, but its a big step towards better time signature values. The new key detection algorithm has the ability to display key as Musical, Musical (all sharps), or “Open Key”, which is a coded Mixed In Key-like system of making the circle of fifths easier to understand (beaTunes has been using this for a while). As explained recently, beaTunes has supported an MPM and Time Signature column for a long time, but the automatic computation of time signatures left much to be desired.
Collection metadata synchronization with TRAKTOR DJ.
Here’s the critical features in the update – pretty major for such a minor change in version number! Traktor Pro 2.6.1 is available for download now in the Service Center – or if it’s not showing up yet, you can grab it in the Downloads section on their new HTML5 site (no more Flash!). After a Richie Hawtin-filled teaser at an iOS Traktor DJing app the week prior to NAMM, the Traktor team has been relatively quiet – but today with a new update to Traktor Pro and some new features, we’re excited to see that things are progressing forward over at Native Instruments.
