The Camelot Wheel is a system DJs use to quickly identify which songs will mix harmonically based on musical key — instead of memorizing music theory, each key is assigned a simple code like '8A' or '5B.' This calculator converts a standard musical key into its Camelot code and lists the other codes that will mix smoothly with it..

This calculator converts a standard musical key into its Camelot code and lists the other codes that will mix smoothly with it.
A track in A Minor is Camelot 8A. Compatible keys for a smooth harmonic mix include 8A itself, 9A, 7A, and 8B (C Major, its relative major).
It's a system DJs use to notate musical keys with numbers and letters (like 8A or 5B) to quickly identify harmonically compatible tracks for mixing.
Tracks in the same Camelot number, or one number away on the same letter, or the same number with a different letter (relative major/minor) typically mix harmonically well.
Blending tracks in compatible keys avoids clashing dissonance, making transitions between songs sound smoother and more musical.
