Händler finden WASP DELUXE (0718-AAF)

From its own chassis into your Eurorack case.

Some patches need grit more than polish. Two oscillators, a noise generator and an input for outside audio feed one MIX section. Blend them, then shape the result through a multi-mode filter. On its own it is monophonic, one bold line at a time.

Waveforms with an edge

Each oscillator offers sawtooth and square settings. Its ENH setting acts as an enhancer to add punch and clarity. The filter switches between lo-pass, bandpass, notch and hi-pass. A control oscillator makes no sound itself. It modulates the oscillators and the filter, with six waveform settings including random.

Envelopes that repeat and hold

Turn SUSTAIN LEVEL/REPEAT fully anticlockwise and the note repeats. ATTACK and DECAY then set the speed of the repeat. The HOLD switch sustains a note indefinitely. DELAY/REPEAT holds back the filter attack by up to 1 second.

From the desk to the case

Play it from a MIDI keyboard over 5-pin DIN, or from a computer over USB. It shows up there as a class-compliant MIDI device. Windows and Mac OS need no extra driver. Out of its chassis, it fits a standard Eurorack case at 70 HP. The case is not supplied and needs its own suitable power supply. Leave the move to experienced service technicians. Link several units in a Poly Chain, all set to the same MIDI channel.
