Overview

A classic monophonic synth.

The Behringer Wasp desktop analog synthesizer brings the legendary sound of vintage analog synths to music producers in a conveniently compact form. With its pure analog audio signal path, dual oscillators and multi-mode filter, the Wasp delivers the warm, rich tones that defined synth music in decades past. Its 16-voice polyphonic chaining allows you to stack multiple Wasps together for expanded possibilities. Eurorack compatibility lets you incorporate the Wasp into your modular synthesizer rig. The desktop design is ideal for producers tight on space.

Craft Sounds with the Analog Heart of Vintage Synths

At the core of the Wasp is an authentic, all-analog sound engine containing the same technology that gave classic synthesizers their uniquely warm character. Two voltage-controlled oscillators give you a choice of sawtooth, square or sine waves to shape your sounds. The multi-mode filter enriches tones with low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch filtering. With dedicated envelope generators for amplitude and filtering, you have deep, expressive control over sound. The pure analog signal path imparts the richness and texture that software can't replicate.

Expand Your Options with 16-Voice Polyphonic Chaining

While the Wasp is monophonic on its own, you can chain up to 16 units together to create a polyphonic synth with each Wasp acting as a voice. This massively multiplies the possibilities for chordal playing or layering sounds. Stack multiple Wasps to build huge, evolving textures. Assign a different tone to each unit and switch between them for dramatic timbral shifts. Poly chaining lets your imagination run wild.

Dual Oscillators Generate a Wide Range of Sounds

The Wasp gives you two digitally-controlled analog oscillators (DCOs) to design your sounds. Select from sawtooth, square and sine waveforms to dial in everything from punchy basses to ethereal pads. With options like oscillator sync, cross modulation and pink or white noise modulation, you can create complex timbres that evolve over time. The two DCOs can also be tuned independently, expanding the harmonic possibilities. Sum both oscillators together or switch between them to build sounds with depth and movement.

Shape Your Tone With the Multi-Mode Filter

At the heart of the Wasp's sound-shaping abilities lies its multi-mode filter. Switch between low-pass, high-pass and band-pass modes to dramatically alter the timbre and harmonics. Use the dedicated filter cutoff and resonance controls to fine-tune the tone color. Increase the resonance for squelchy, resonant sweeps. Modulate the cutoff with the envelope generator or LFO to introduce movement into the filter's response. Whether you're looking for precise sound design or more organic, evolving textures, the multi-mode filter provides the versatility you need.

Modulation Options Add Motion and Animation

While the oscillators and filter form the foundation, it's the modulation capabilities that bring the Wasp to life. Use the two envelope generators to shape amplitude and filter activity over time. The multi-waveform LFO injects vibrato, trills and pulsing rhythmic effects. Route the LFO to control oscillator pitch, pulse-width and filter cutoff for constantly shifting timbres. With its extensive modulation options, the Wasp allows you to make sounds that move and breathe.

Eurorack Format Enables Modular Expansion

In addition to standalone use, the Wasp's Eurorack-compatible format lets you incorporate it into a modular synth rig. Use its audio and CV outputs to interface with other modules, processing its sound even further. Trigger envelope generators and LFOs using external gate signals. The possibilities are endless when the Wasp joins the modular ecosystem. Whether enhancing your existing system or providing an entry point into Eurorack, it unlocks new dimensions of analog synthesis.

Compact Desktop Design Saves Space

The desktop form factor means the Wasp doesn't take up much room on your studio desktop or keyboard stand. Its controls are ergonomically arrayed for easy tweaking without having to take your eyes off your monitor or music stand. The Wasp gives you true vintage analog sound without consuming a bunch of space—perfect for producers with limited work areas.
