There's no such thing as "just F#" IIRC.

A key is the root note of a scale. The key of "F#" can correspond to any one of the scales that use F# as a root, most commonly F# Minor and F# Major.

So when I play the "F#" button on this virtual piano I'm not actually playing a key that I can find at the Cammelot Wheel? But actually a group of keys??

No, youre playing a single note, a note which is the root of a scale, called a key. The virtual piano is just a virtual piano, its not some special "find the key" tool.

I believe if you pick up a beginners any strin instrument book it will help.. Keys and scales most people learn ad grow accustomed to it. I also was merely pointing out I do not believe any are 100% accurate but they are usually close enough to not lead you astray... Also a big thing is you do not always have I follow these guidelines for having great sounding mixes but they are merely aids until you develop the skill to be automatic
