Waves Greg Wells PianoCentric
PianoCentric is more than a one trick pony. It works beautifully on acoustic pianos. When dialled in to positive range, it adds a polished finished HiFi type of sheen to the sound. It not only helps it cut through in a mix, but adds a fullness and richness that you generally find only with the best quality equalizers.
But to me, it really shines on electric pianos. When dialled in to the negative range, the result is a beautiful filtered LoFi sound, with perfectly smooth resonant bumps that don’t jump out when sweeping up and down. To my ears, it is perfect for use with automation. It can generate a smooth natural wah wah type of filtering, with no sharp peaks at the cutoff positions. A musically timed delay is also available, for creative musical rhythmic variations. And the doubling function adds the ability to thicken and get a detuned type of effect. Try this, in modest doses, on vocals; it won’t disappoint!
