Wasp Deluxe

Einfacher Synth mit tollem Sound! Der Filter ist mein Highlight. Reagiert von den bisherigen Behringer Synth welche ich habe am besten. Nicht umsonst gibt es ihn wohl auch separat für Eurocksysteme. Kaum Patchmöglichkeiten ist der kleine Nachteil.

I am 55 and have been collecting and playing synthesizers since I got my Roland SH-101 in 1983. I have owned or still own a lot of the classics, including a Jupiter 8, Minimoog, Prophet 5, Polybrute and so on. i won't list everything, but my point is that I am very experienced at both analogue and digital sound design and a classically trained pianist. I thought there was little new left to find in analogue synths, though recently I have been going back to them again. At some point in 1985 my parents took me on a day trip to Bath and I vividly remember seeing a teenage new wave band busking with someone sat playing a Wasp on the floor going through some portable amp. That image has stayed with me for 40 years and was therefore curious when Behringer announced this remake. I have bought and saved up for the big name synths over the decades and basically didn't need any more analogue synths in the studio, but kept thinking that the Behringer Wasp Deluxe was only cheap, it would finally scratch the itch of hearing what the Wasp could do, and even if I sold it after a week at half price, I still wouldn't have lost much money and it would be a worthwhile experience to finally lay to rest that image I have been carrying in my head for 40 years, etc. So that's my background - experienced synth player, minimal expectations of this Wasp, thought it was going to be ridiculously limited and a one-trick pony, it would be a pointless waste but at least I would have scratched the itch. And this is why I am writing this review - OMG - it is vastly better than I was expecting and vastly more flexible and is not only an absolute no-brainer for the money, it is actually a really interesting synth. The build quality is absolutely fine regardless of the price. It's still new, so I can't say how it will last, but I have no concerns there. The sound quality is really interesting and there are so many little quirks that it has that the first time I opened the box and plugged it in I spent 3 hours exploring it and thoroughly enjoyed doing so - not what I was expecting from what /i thought was going to be ridiclously limited. It is really capable of some beautiful sounds and I wasn't expecting that at all. If you are a beginner, it is on the surface really simple to learn. If you are experienced, it really is more capable than you perhaps think. It only responds to a 3 octave range, even if you play it from an 88 note keyboard, but that isn't a limitation in terms of frequency range, just a quirk I wasn't expecting so I thought I would point it out. The note repeat plus hold function is another quirk i hadn't expected. Maybe I just hadn't done enough research beforehand, but my minimal expectations were absolutely blown away and as you can tell I am so pleased with getting it I wanted to leave a glowing review. Unlike other Behringer copyist synths where you can currently buy a (more expensive) original from the appropriate manufacturer (Moog Minimoog etc), you can't buy an original manufacturer new Wasp, therefore I for one am very grateful that they have made this and to have done so at this price is incredible. Most guitar stomp box pedals cost more than this. Very, very pleased with this indeed.

Increíble sintétizador, es una maravilla por el precio tan accesible

El Behringer Wasp Deluxe es un instrumento único. Su sonido grueso y agresivo no tiene igual y su filtro multimodo te dejará sin palabras. Muy bien que además el número de serie de la unidad que me han mandado empieza por S20, lo que significa que es la versión v2 del hardware con el problema corregido de las notas que se disparaban solas. Muy contento con la compra y más a este precio tan bajo.

good and cheap thx
