I am late to this posting, however I did want to say that I have this problem. I also know of a mixer that has keychange on it, but I have lost ALL faith in the company. The mixer is by VOCOPRO. They have the KJ-8000 (lessor models may have it too). The key change is on the board.

Here are some of the disadvantages of the board, when the songs is done, the key stays where it was, if it was down 2, the next song will come out down 2 unless you key it back to natural. Also, the sound processor on reacts to audio that is actively passing through it. If there is a long section where no music is coming through the speakers, the key seems to shift back to Natural... This may not sound bad, but if you have any echo or reverb in the song (and who doesn't) then you as a singer or host notice the key changing back.

There is a song on a Pocket Songs CD from Little Shop of Horrors, "Grow For Me." If I keyed this down, toward the end there is a very dramatic music drop out and I always notice the key reverting back to natural.

There is another nice feature on this board that has been asked about, removing of the multiplex. There is a multiplex button that removes the background vocals.

I have owned four pieces of VOCOPRO equipment and all four have had to be returned to the purchase place or the manufacturer for one reason or another. Therefore I won't be buying anything else of theres.

I hope this is helpful to someone... P.S. I have one of the aforementioned boards available for Sale... ;)
