It's pretty easy to dial up some cool bass, synth, and other classic monophonic sounds. For sale serviced, and in excellent condition, complete with the original box. This makes it one of the earliest compact digital/analog hybrid mono-synths, and it sounds great! The Wasp offers flexible subtractive synthesis. The WASP is monophonic and powered by two digital oscillators supported by analog filters, envelopes and controls.

SOLD - Serial Number 003295 BACK TO THE HOME PAGE. A look under the hood, however, reveals some nice surprises. EDP WASP kindly donated to me by David Sands. Other unique touches include a little speaker built-in to the synth and EDP's own pre-MIDI connector ports for linking it to other Wasps and EDP gear.

It's a nifty technology for 1978, but in reality they are unreliable and difficult to play. The flat little keys are sensitive only to your electro-static touch. Probably its most distinguishing feature is the 2-octave keyboard which uses non-moving touch-sensitive keys. It really is black and yellow too, just like the insect it is named after. The Wasp is a quirky little synthesizer that, despite its toyish look, is a quality instrument capable of fun and funky analog sounds.
