In early 2017, he took delivery of an ARTHUR modular mixer - configured as a personal mixer for directly managing his own on-stage sound. Having become accustomed to sharing a stage with ARTHUR over the past few months, as part of an ongoing world tour, Corea commented: "This beautiful Schertler mixer makes my keyboards and piano sound rich and warm - the way I like it. The channels are modular so I can configure the mixer to any size depending on which band I'm playing with. The controls and the layout are completely aesthetic and easy to control. It's a work of art!"
