Insert the Hornet SongKey MK4 on your master bus or an individual audio track. Step 2: Play your song from the beginning. The plugin needs about 4-8 bars to analyze enough harmonic data. Step 3: Watch the main display. Once the key stabilizes (e.g., “G# minor”), click the “Lock” button to prevent the detection from changing later. Step 4: Use the “Send to DAW” feature – this copies the key information and suggested EQ curve into your DAW’s notepad or stores it as a preset tag. Step 5: Open your saturation or reverb plugin. Use the MK4’s suggested “fundamental overtone series” to tune your reverb decay or chorus modulation.
