The piano is often difficult to balance because it occupies a wide frequency and dynamic range: it can mask the vocals, compete with guitars, or conversely disappear as soon as the mix becomes dense. PianoCentric aims for an immediate result: a piano that \u003cstrong\u003enaturally sits\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the lead or \u003cstrong\u003ecuts through\u003c\/strong\u003e a pop, rock, urban, or cinematic arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond acoustic and electric pianos, the processing also works very well on \u003cstrong\u003epads, keys, organs, polyphonic synths\u003c\/strong\u003e, and can even provide a solid foundation to \u003cstrong\u003efull and rich acoustic guitars\u003c\/strong\u003e when they take up too much low-midrange space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe main knob: a continuum of colors\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of PianoCentric is a unique control that spans several sonic intentions. Turning it to the right yields a \u003cstrong\u003ebrighter and more percussive\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, designed to emphasize attack and presence so the piano retains its definition in a busy mix. Turning it to the left moves toward \u003cstrong\u003edarker, more vintage, and more lo-fi\u003c\/strong\u003e textures, as if the piano were captured more raw and intimate, which helps place it further back in the sound image.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTempo-synced Delay: movement without clutter\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd a \u003cstrong\u003etempo-locked Delay\u003c\/strong\u003e to create animation and movement without turning the part into overwhelming pads. This is an effective approach to bring life to a repetitive pattern, thicken a piano accompaniment in a chorus, or highlight melodic responses, all while staying controlled in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDoubler: width, richness, and diffusion\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDoubler\u003c\/strong\u003e module provides a wider, richer, and more diffuse piano sound. It's ideal when a mono or too-centered piano sounds narrow, or when you want to fill the stereo field without increasing volume. Used subtly, it also helps create a \"large grand piano\" sensation in a modern pop production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eA plugin designed for automation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePianoCentric shines when you automate the main knob: a darker, intimate verse, a more neutral pre-chorus, then a \u003cstrong\u003ebrighter and more incisive\u003c\/strong\u003e chorus. This workflow is especially useful when the piano changes roles within the track (discreet accompaniment, then rhythmic element or hook).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDesigned with Greg Wells\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloped with award-winning producer and mixer Greg Wells, himself a pianist, PianoCentric combines processing choices aimed at making the piano \"sound like a record\" quickly. The goal is to provide you with musical, immediate, and reliable colors so that \u003cstrong\u003epiano and keys settle perfectly\u003c\/strong\u003e without fighting the rest of the arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eOS X macOS Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMemory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e8 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisk space\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e16 GB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eIntel or Silicon architecture\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain goal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eto perfectly fit piano and keyed instruments into the mix\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain knob\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eright for a brighter, punchier sound; left for darker, more integrated colors\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003etempo-synced Delay for animation and movement\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoubler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ewidening and enriching for a richer, more diffuse piano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003edesigned to evolve colors during the mix\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtended uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecan also deliver excellent results on full acoustic guitars\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ecreated with award-winning producer and mixer Greg Wells\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlugin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eWaves Greg Wells PianoCentric\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Waves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360764416275,"sku":"399584","price":33.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/fc7384a665fb3aa28ce3d4e21cc56bc0104ce4c6_WAVES_1178_2877.jpg?v=1788277892","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/waves-greg-wells-pianocentric-399584","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
