Equipment ALlowing Key Change and Harmonic Mixing

Hi guys,

I was aware that a lot of the higher-end products on the market allow for Key changes etc, as well as some of the lower-end ones even.

I refer to DJ gear including CDJs/Turntables/Mixers or even if there's any standalone electronic gear that u can simply plug into your CDJ or turntable outs to allow for key changes.

I was just wondering what experiences you guys had any experience with them, and what the quality on any of them was like?

It's key correction is almost useless!

that's what I thought. THe key correction in many of these things is practically useless...

though i'm not sure. I was wondering what sort of stuff was actually available out there, and how effective it all was.

Most key 'correction' equipment is forgivable around a semitone, anything else and it starts to sound really weird no matter how expensive.
Unless you start to explore the realm of time stretching etc. then you can start messing around with tracks but it's not really something that works well on the fly.

Cheers
