Key 2 "Open Key"

[Klaxsis]

And you need the A's and B's

been using Dur and minor instead of the A and B. Traktor uses it also.

That's taken from beatunes' site and I don't see any m's or d's?
And I'm not perfectly confident with my music theory, but it looks the same as the camelot system to me.

been using that wheel just wanted someone to check everything was coded correctly, bit of a nooby question but just wanted someone to double check.

[Patch]

bm = Flat Minor
b = Flat
# = sharp
No suffix (i.e - no b or m or bm or #) = Major

Also - A# = Bb, B# = Cb, C# = Db, D# = Eb, E# = Fb, F#= Gb.

What is The Difference between A# and Bb?
Aren't these two notes the same? Because i will seem them both used, however wouldn't A# be the proper term, does B flat really exist? I am thoroughly confused.

Best Answer
They are both the exact same note, and both names are equally valid. The only difference is in context.
In flat keys (F, Bb, Eb, Ab, Db, Gb) you use Bb for consistency, while in sharp keys (B, F#, G#) you use A#. This is a general, and there are exceptions, such a classical pieces that use chromatic scales.

It's the difference in the name of a key, and the name of a note IN a key.

Confusing, ain't it!

haha yes it is, hence why i needed help to check, used to play guitar and couldn't get my head completely around keys. Since as though you have a fair knowledge of these keys, do my custom key codes correlate to the Beatunes open key wheel?

B is major, A is minor.
