The System
The Camelot system assigns every musical key a code from 1A to 12B. The number (1-12) represents the position on the circle of fifths, while the letter indicates minor (A) or major (B).
Compatible Keys
From any position, three keys are always compatible: the same number with the opposite letter (relative major/minor), and +1 or −1 on the wheel with the same letter. These transitions sound smooth and natural.
For DJs & Producers
DJs use Camelot codes to plan harmonic transitions between tracks. Producers use them to find samples, loops, and vocal chops that sit naturally together in a mix.
