Sound generation and filters

The Wasp Deluxe has two oscillators, which generate the waveforms Sawtooth, Square and Enhance and are manually adjustable in pulse width and pitch. In addition to the dedicated controls for the oscillator levels, the noise generator and the external input also have their own level controls. The four sound sources end up in the Wasp Deluxe's filter. The resonant multimode filter with low-pass, bandpass, high-pass and notch characteristics is anything but tame: mean, beastly, hissing and always assertive, this filter is just like a real wasp visiting you on the terrace.

Modulation

The Wasp Deluxe is equipped with a Glide control for both oscillators and an LFO for modulation of pitch and filter. This is adequately equipped with six waveforms including noise and random. The two envelopes are permanently assigned to the filter and VCA and can be set to loop mode separately. The differences are the delay phase for the filter envelope and the sustain phase for the amplifier envelope. In addition, the VCA can be set to DRONE mode, which is suitable for use as an analogue filter box.
