Why there are three
Musical keys are what the track is actually in: A minor, C major. They are precise, but nothing about the names tells you which ones sit well together.
Wheel codes (1A to 12B, sometimes called alphanumeric keys) rearrange the same keys so that neighbours are compatible. A is minor, B is major. One number up or down is a safe mix.
Open Key is the same idea with different numbering: m for minor, d for major, and 1 where the wheel codes have 8.
Each wheel code links to a page listing what mixes with that key.
