54andcounting 0 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Found this...BUZZING The Wasp has to be one of the most unusual looking synths ever made, with its shiny black ABS plastic casing with bright yellow knobs and legends and the infamous flat, yellow and black keyboard. It looks so cheap and cheerful that you would almost think it was disposable. Containing a single PCB with a hybrid digital VCO and analogue VCF design by Chris Huggett and Adrian Wagner it was released in 1978 for £199 by UK company EDP and was distributed by Rod Argent's Keyboards. Advertised as being 'One of the biggest advances in synthesiser design-an ultra low cost, high performance instrument unmatched by synthesisers several times the price', it quickly gained cult status. Pro musicians regarded it as no more than a toy but many more saw it as a godsend and anyway who cares what it looked like, it sounded bloody great! Have you got one? Or ever had one? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
