Why it exists

You got sent a loop pack with no key labels, a reference with no BPM, and a vocal in who-knows-what. Twenty minutes of noodling later you're still not sure.

SCOUT reads key and tempo in real time and broadcasts them to CADENCE, ROOT and VOICES over EchelonLink — set it once and the whole session plays in key by itself.

In the session

  • Read key and BPM off any loop in seconds.
  • Broadcast the key to CADENCE, ROOT and VOICES automatically.
  • See half-time and triplet readings and pick the one you want.
  • Run it as a zero-latency analysis tap.
