Why Keytor?

In a dynamic work environment where speed is as essential as quality, we often find ourselves in search of tools to optimize our workflow. We often focus on advanced plugins, ignoring the potential of stock plugins and the optimization of repetitive tasks.

The default HotKeys are limited to specific functions and do not allow the addition of elements directly to the tracks. With tools like KeyMap and some Max for Live utilities, you can achieve a similar effect but they can be complex to configure and limited to the current project or saved templates. Users of MIDI controllers face issues due to software restrictions that limit their product’s features.

External KeyMapping software allows hotkey mapping but isn’t fully integrated with DAWs and doesn’t make adding instruments or effects to tracks easy.

Keytor is the missing piece that can solve all these limitations.
