Feature request: Key traffic light improvement

It does show compatible keys -- or it should, it did last time I checked.

it does show compatible keys julia, i just double checked. i use MIK and if i have a track in 3a loaded into the deck then the traffic light system lights up all tracks that are 3a, 4a and 2a as expected.

maybe there's an issue with the deck reading the open key notation?

I will check again that, but still the feature request to have three different colors for same key, one key up and one key down stays :) Even if all the compatible keys and not only the same key are shown in green it is still a nuisance to find which of them to pick to go up or go down.

WIth open notation I have not tried on the CDJs, I use open notation in traktor but then rekordbuddy converts it to musical notation when I transfer the data to rekordbox.

I confirm, the CDJ also shows one key up and one down. My request of having different colors is still valid obviously.

Ordering by key is also useless, it orders alphabetically and not musically so it has almost no practical use. Here another request: add the possibility to sort by key musically.

If you were to sort keys harmonically instead of in normal order, it would make a dog's breakfast of the order and make it slower to find keys. The colour-coding of matching keys works to locate those in the alpha-list.

And yes, it only shows one up/down, as if it were to show all potential harmonics (using additional rules), you wind up with MANY more "compatible" tracks. I don't think that's a good thing for casual harmonic users.

I wouldn't want to see all compatible keys, I'm happy with same key and one up/down. Just mark them in three different colors in the menu. This will help immensely when looking for a key progression.

I still believe that the option to sort by key musically is a good thing. I mean that it should be possible for the users to select the type of key sorting and use the one they  prefer, alphabetical or musical.

Another good option would be to have the CDJs work with Open Notation as well (again, let the user free to decide which notation, musical or open notation). That would make the life easier and remove the need for complex sorting.

i'd prefer to keep the traffic light system as it is. i'd hate to have additional colours messing up the display.

if this is being considered then please make it only as an option.

Besides using the key from RB I also at the Numeric Key. Much easier to search.

Agree with OP.

Traffic light system with a YELLOW light would be much more useful; also it would make more semiotic sense (green alone means nothing, pair it with yellow and meaning is immediately clear).
