Some techno is written on minor chords, and flats i.e. mills, Ramirez,  But
as far as narrowing it down, it's difficult, especially when some of the
basslines are falling below scales and tuned too low for register, i.e. sub
bases and the like.
I would suggest taking some mp 3's and saving them as wave files. You can
them take those files, or their midi information and run it through some
shareware notation software.
There's too many variables to consider, and there are really no rules, or
standards. If there are, I've ignored them. That's kind of the point.

Good luck,

Ryan

Do any Djs keep a list of "keys" of various tracks (as well as BPM)?
("key"  as in F or Bflat etc.  -    the tonal center of a track or whatever
you choose to call it)

If so:
What are the most frequently used keys?
What are the least frequently used keys?
Do certain producers have "favorite" keys?
What's the BMP limitation on changing tracks with different keys?
Like if you're going from F to G  (Maj 2nd up),  What does that amount to in
BPM change if the F track is BPM=120 and the G track is BPM = "x"?  Anybody
work with stuff like that?
