EDP Wasp Analogue Synthesizer
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"The EDP Wasp is a two-oscillator analogue synth which was designed by Chris Hugget (the same man who was responsible for the OSCar). It's a completely unique sounding synth with tons of character. From deep, throbbing basses to screaming modulated leads, the Wasp sounds amazing. I personally think it has one of most dynamic filters out of all the analogue synths i own. It breathes, it bites, it spits....
The Wasp is undoubtedly unusual in terms of it's design. It's housed inside a moulded two piece plastic case and played via the touch sensitive keyboard. These cases were notorious for cracking and splitting at the front, on the corners, and around the screw holes - i am pleased to say this is one of the (very) few which hasn't suffered in this respect. Likewise, the keyboard responds as it should....no dead contacts etc. All pots work 100% - a couple are a touch scratchy but those inclined to buy some spray cleaner should sort that easy.
It's a truly great synth in all respects. Sounds remarkably contemporary for being almost 40 years old !"

"Electronic Dream Plant
A 252-step digital sequencer (most analogue sequencers at the time had 8 or 16-steps, built in the same style as the standard wasp, outputting both LINK (to drive EDP products) and CV/gate information for use with standard analogue synths."

"Electronic Dream Plant
the WASP (1978), the GNAT synthesizer with funny black-yellow design from the UK. a lot of digital cicuitry for that time (again) by chris huggett, who also did the OSCar..
there are even MIDI kits for it, but this machine is EXPENSIVE today..
the filter is a 12dB/oct. made of digital inverters "working as OP amps" that are the cause for its very special sound. as said 12dB/oct
multimode filters and an LFO (here it is a "modulation OSC") , the filter is one of the first ones that are made of digital parts.. sounds very special , btw.. clones are being made by doepfer (A124) and others for modular systems..
GNAT is a smaller version of the WASP, it is only one OSCed and a real minimal synth.. rare."

EDP GNAT Special
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
"Gnats are usually nothing but an annoyance, but in this case, we'll make an exception. The Gnat is a single-oscillator version of the Wasp. It has one digital oscillator and analog circuitry with a basic lowpass resonant filter, envelope with Attack and Decay controls, an LFO which can modulate the pitch or filter, and a built-in speaker. Like the Wasp, it has a very un-playable touch-sensitive flat keyboard with 25 keys. The Gnat also had EDP's propietary control that could be used to link the Gnat to a Wasp or other EDP gear.
Like the Wasp, the Gnat also came in three versions. Besides the original, a Gnat Special (pictured above, released 1982) and Gnat Deluxe were released. They had wood panels and a few other changes and the Deluxe used a a standard 3 octave keyboard. The Gnat offers simple and traditional synthesis of analog bass, synth and other useful monophonic sounds. It's designer, Chris Hugget, also designed the Oxford Synth Company's OSCar Synthesizer. "
