Key Scale Matcher MIDI and Key Scale Matcher Audio are two independent but very similar Max for live devices that identify the most likely Keys and Scales being used in Ableton Live.

Each device can compare a selection of incoming notes to all of Ableton Lives 420 available scales and then display the closest 30 matches in order. *

These devices are useful both for ascertaining Key and Scale of pre recorded MIDI and Audio clips and  ascertaining the Key and Scale of MIDI and Audio music that is being played live.

If you use Push or other grid controllers you can then use this information to set the Key and Scale on those controllers so that you can create new parts that compliment your music.

These devices also compliment the freely available Pop Up Piano MIDI and Scale display for accelerating your musical use of theory in Ableton Live. Pop Up Piano is Available here: https://fingerspushbuttons.gumroad.com/
