PianoCentric packs Greg Wells’ studio techniques into one knob, making piano and other keyboard instruments sit perfectly in the mix.

Piano covers a wide range of frequencies and dynamics, which makes it hard to place in a busy mix. Grammy-winning producer and mixer Greg Wells, a professional pianist himself, has put his techniques into one main control: dark and lo-fi to the left, neutral in the middle, bright and punchy to the right. Doubler and tempo-synced Delay add richness and motion, and PianoCentric is also very effective on full-bodied acoustic guitars.
