Key change on loading track

I use a combo of ddj-rx and Rekordbox.
Since v.5.4.3 i just realize than when I load a track, even with tonality key sync off, the songs often shift a semi-tone (+1 or -1) on the camelot scale. 
I look in the preferences panel and haven't found anything related to that.

Can you help please ?

is your pitch fader at 0% when loading a track and the key has shifted?

if your pitch is set past 3% the key will change when loading a track as the speed and tone are now different to the original key focus of the track and will show as -/+ semitones change

if you put MT (key lock) on then it shouldn't change no matter where the pitchfader (speed only) is.

if this is not what you are on about please could you give us more info.

What he said ^^... there shouldn't be any change to your track's tonality if the pitch is at 0% and the key-shift is not enabled. Remember, a 1 semitone change is 6% of a track's speed difference.

Thank you for pointing me to the right direction. I usually keep the MT and pitch fader centered but for this one, I may have done something different.

So again, thank you.

Glad to hear you've got it working - please let us know if you have any other questions.
