The Wasp Deluxe by Behringer is a clone of the cult synthesizer EDP Wasp, which at that time (1978-1981) was the British, affordable answer to the new releases from the USA and Japan. In favour of the compact, rack-capable case, Behringer has decided not to use the membrane keyboard in the new edition, which was a main optical and haptic feature of the synthesizer developed by Electronic Dream Plant.
The Wasp Deluxe has two oscillators, which generate the waveforms Sawtooth, Square and Enhance and are manually adjustable in pulse width and pitch. In addition to the dedicated controls for the oscillator levels, the noise generator and the external input also have their own level controls. The four sound sources end up in the Wasp Deluxe's filter. The resonant multimode filter with low-pass, bandpass, high-pass and notch characteristics is anything but tame: mean, beastly, hissing and always assertive, this filter is just like a real wasp visiting you on the terrace.
The Wasp Deluxe is equipped with a Glide control for both oscillators and an LFO for modulation of pitch and filter. This is adequately equipped with six waveforms including noise and random. The two envelopes are permanently assigned to the filter and VCA and can be set to loop mode separately. The differences are the delay phase for the filter envelope and the sustain phase for the amplifier envelope. In addition, the VCA can be set to DRONE mode, which is suitable for use as an analogue filter box.
Behringer Wasp DeluxeI used to have a Wasp filter in my Eurorack but when I sold the rack rig I still wanted that flavour and this thing gives me everything I need for dirty basses. I’m sure it does other stuff too but really I just want it for the bass. The HPF in particular is very gnarly.
I dreamed of an EDP Wasp in the 70s as a youth but could not afford one, Behringer have made that dream come trun and this is as good a sounding as the devices I played with in various shops at the time. dv247 also were easy to deal with and I knew where my order was up to from the time I clicked the buy button. 10/10 to Behringer and dv247
Really love this synth, amazing for bass and lead sounds... sadly my one had a fault so had to be returned but I can’t wait to get creating with the replacement unit when it arrives.
