First of all, this is by far the best Behringer wasp demonstration. Second, imo from all the Behringer synths this one has the most vintage character and grit.
I absolutely love it. I have many VSTs, good ones, but this what i was missing, in your face, fat, springy sound that pops out. Love Crave as well. Wasp is is next, not so sure about others, maybe the ub-xa when it comes out.
I have the Wasp, Cat, Pro One and Neutron. I actually like the Cat the best. It is very rich harmonically and different from any other synth I have owned.
The WASP has an interesting sound, most of the time it has its own sound, but at times it gets near to a Minimoog sound, while still being distinctive. The mid 70s to mid 80s was such an interesting era for synths, I guess a bit like the 50s and 60s for electric guitars. Thankfully Behringer are bringing back some of these eccentric gems, such as the WASP. The originals are very rare here in Australia, in spite of many years scouring ebay and gumtree, I've never seen one for sale here (and I bet it would be VERY expensive if I were to find an original. So I believe Behringer are actually doing a great service by keeping these synths alive in our minds, in our hands and our MUSIC. The originals are still an option, so its all very democratic I believe! For those who argue these are "rip offs" I don't agree. Intellectual rights law cover the patented/copyrighted designs. In regards to 70s and 80s synths, patent and copyright law has already expired. IMAGINE THIS: If the first person to invent the modern acoustic guitar held an indefinate patent on their invention... it would stifle other guitar makers and deprive the public of affordable guitars. The whole idea of patents (I think they expire in about 30 years) is to BALANCE individual or company innovation and the public good. If you are too snobby to use Behringer because of the brand name, ask yourself this: Does your audience even care? Its all about SOUND and CREATIVITY!
I fully agree on most what you've said. I'd only wish that Behringer would stay away from cloning equipment that is still available (like the Swing, for example). In my opinion it's not necessary, even less considering that Behringer does such a great job with their synths.
I bought this but had to return it, as it would'nt play above middle C. I got a full refund but this must've been a rare factory fault. I agree Behringer went too far with the Swing. No need to clone something still in production. What would've been much better is for Behringer to improve the design (no on/off switch even!). Also, the Keystep Pro is so expensive, why did'nt they "borrow" some ideas from that?!
Love this synth. I got one 2nd hand in 1980. It's a modulation powerhouse. You can achieve some amazing rhythmic patterns using the lfo and the 2 looping envelopes. And the bandpass filter is a thing of beauty. Behringer have done a great job on recreating it.
@@limbicbits yes it has a unique "springy" buzz to it. I've still got the one I bought in '80, but it's in a very sorry state. The case deteriorated to the point of destruction and it's all stored in a black bin bag in the corner of the room next to my dead Polysix. I call it "Project Corner". I have done for years, sadly. They sit there, silently mocking me.😂
I think you've become my favorite channel for checking out gear. Direct simple and you can actually get good sound out of the instruments you use. Thanks for uploading.
Honestly love this synth. It almost has a sound that is like a combination of the model d(minimoog) and a td3(303), kind of. Idk if that makes sense. But the wasp has a unique sound and the filter absolutely rips
@@limbicbits ruclips.net/video/KYvmEBKzMaU/видео.html Whats not to like about it, LFO store did some patches and This person here made a full track with it as well it also showcases the Full strength of the Synth ruclips.net/video/HMP7ejrWicc/видео.html
@@limbicbits Same here. I bought one based on your video. After having it for a week I think is criminal how much BOC milked this synth!!! There is almost no way of making it not sound like Boards the moment that you use a little bit of pitch mod! Totally hidden gem and no doubt one of their main lead line synths IMHO. Its one of the most unstable drifting synths I have ever used! So nostalgic sounding its crazy.
Its interesting, watching this and then going back through songs i listened to in the 8o's (synth pop) and to know that the wasp was used by a lot of groups back then. Some great sound come out of this little product. Nice demo, hope to pick one up later this year.
Nice demo. I bought this 2 weeks ago and I love it. Although, the downside is via midi it only can play 3 octaves. But the sound quality and gain is outstanding. Filter can self oscilate as well. It's a good addition to my vintage synth collection. I wanna buy the Cat as well when it's available.
@@limbicbits haha, doesn't matter. But I like how it sounded. The filter is outstanding and the envelope is unique. Like all synths, it will shines with fx, like distortion, delay and reverb
How many octaves are in your midi controller, Yaya? I should think if I bought one and attached it to my S90XS, it would cover the pitch range of all 88 Keys. Is that a mistake on my part?
I love how tiny it is and surprise about its very organic analog power .. Always thought DCOs can sound warm too in right synth. More than the Bass Station II. I would love this kind of architecture in multitimbral module since Behringer seams going to reduce even more the dimensions of their instruments within the new chip coming.
@@effebidi9677 DCOs are not the same thing as digital oscillators. A DCO Is an oscillator controlled by a digital voltage signal. They were designed to help alleviate tuning issues in analog synths using VCOs, in particular polyphonic synths, like the Juno series. Digital oscillators, on the other hand, are just entirely digital.
This demo is superb, outstanding, marvelous. Thank you! I subscribed! I was waiting for the CAT to come out, but now that I checked your video, I no longer know which one to get. I will probably end up getting both in the next five years, but which one should I get first? I have no idea now. You have me completely puzzled.
Thanks for the sub! Between these two, I'd get the CAT first as it provides more low end and is more flexible. May I also add the just announced Dreadbox Typhon to your list? It's within the same price range (more or less) and just blew me away sound wise.
Nice demo. Thanks. Fun little thing: I have an original Korg MS-20 fra 1978, and I think there are actually some similarities between the beefyness of the bass and the somewhat gritty filter.
my deepmind 12d got lost in the mail today and i didn't want to wait! these went on sale for $150 so i snagged one LOL lets hope my other Behringer synth shows up!
Yeah, the Wasp just doesn't really do anything for me. The Cat, on the other hand, goes right off the deep end if you want it to. I love the crazy sounds that are possible with the Cat.
Lynn Skaggs Yep, maybe the mixer will be worth a little. They all have some sweet spots. We are probably due for a new one or two Volcas soon, if the world ever starts back up again.
I never tried to get an original Wasp. It always struck me as the ultimate idiosyncratic synthesizer. Listening to this demo, I could sort of imagine getting this module. Wouldn’t mind knowing the reaction of Chris Hugget to this module.
Yes - that would be an interesting question. Also, I would like to know how close is Doepfer's Wasp filter to the original in comparison to this one. Personally, I prefer the modular version over the one Behringer uses. Doepfer's wasp filter sounds grittier and more chaotic at high resonances what I really like.
Great demo! Best I've seen for this synth. Is it just the synth with this midi controller that we hear? Nothing else at all? And is it just plug and play between this midi controller and synth?
Tracking is ok. The biggest disappointment was, that it seems to accept only four octaves via MIDI despite the oscillators being capable of a much wider range.
@@holygeneration7 I didn't like the filter or sync on the CAT and subs aren't useful to me. Pro-1 is the best followed by wasp for character in my taste.
@@holygeneration7 Nice, both seem to be awesome. Haven't tried either but had a SH-101 years ago. Pro-800 is next for me, the Pro-1 is my default go to mono.
Thanks! I’ve heard about this issue but really didn’t encounter it when doing the demo. It might have something to do with the retrigger function of the envelope which is not always clear at first sight. Or maybe I’ve just been lucky with a unit that worked
Get a keystep 37, it's hands on functions are worth its weight in gold for me. Then it won't matter what connection then, and it's a very very nice and robust controller, it'll open a lot of doors these days having one.
They make some truly beautiful sounding synths for so little money. It's amazing. The more I listen to your demos the more I'm convinced you're a well known music producer or at least should be. Do you make tracks or you just like to play with gear?
Behringer Wasp ...then the Behringer Cat ... what`s next the Behringer Labrador ?... seriously though .. great vid ... i`m gonna keep an eye for this second hand .. i also read recently that Kim Wylde`s "Kids in America" bassline was done on the original Wasp !!
I respectfully disagree and would describe it more as gnarly, not so fat. Also, the Multimode Filter adds a very strange character to the signal especially when using high resonance settings.
I hope they're paying you because you sold this and the cat tonight. I wasn't really even considering either of them but if I can make them sound a fraction of as good as you do, they'll be worth every penny. BTW, what are you using for effects?
Thanks! As a good starting point you could use the video (on pause) to copy the settings and thus maybe also learn how to create sour own patches. In most of my videos I use the Valhalla DSP line (delay, Vintage room and shimmer) which is great in so many ways.
Q is Resonance like you’ve mentioned. I made the cut one time without and one time with external reverb (Valhalla room). This might have caused the confusion
@@limbicbits I am trying to figure out if I get equalisation right,/ if I am using my ears right, would you say that for recording it would be usual to make a cut in the high end at 3:02?
@@robertsteinberger5667 ah! Rather than targetting primarily the high end, I'd aim for some resonance peaks in the mids and upper mids. But cutting out some of the high-end can be beneficial, too. Especially, if you'd like to place it a bit more in the background. Just a workflow recommendation. Your approach is absolutely ok as it has been done that way for decades and is still done that way. But given all the advantages in a DAW I'd always record the signal raw first and add EQ, compression, etc later. Especially when learning (well, you never stop learning but I guess you get what I'm trying to say) this will help you to try different things.
Wow I think it's hard to choose from all their monos nowadays! I have Model D but I want something with a bit more edge. Would this be it or would you recommend any of the others? K2, Pro-1 and CAT? Thanks!
My favorite is Pro-1 out of their line. But as you’ve said „more edge“ I guess that K2 and wasp would fit even better. Out of these two I’d choose K2 as it has a rougher character.
Is this good for Trance saws? I'm trying to think of a good example... Like the lead from Inside of me(murder remix) I'm looking for that gritty Saw Lead that most european hard trance songs have. I have the sound for z3ta+ Plugin, but i want to branch out to ALL hardware and leave VST's behind.
You can get these kind of sounds from a lot of synths but WASP Deluxe wouldn't be my first choice. If you'd like to switch to hardware, Access Virus (second hand A or B should do the job), or a Roland JP 8000 will cover it 100%. If you prefer to buy new, Novation Peak is a great and flexible alternative: www.thomann.de/intl/novation_peak.htm?offid=1&affid=397
I found the WASP a bit smoother and the loop able envelope is cool. But then there is something in its sound that I don’t dig. If searching for an alternative I’d rather have a look at Pro1 or Cat. Both are different enough to coexist with a K2
@@BarbieChaite In this case, you might just want to give it a try. Model D is almost never a bad choice (for all styles of music), although I personally have some kind of a hate love for that Moog sound. First, I always love them - and still do - but as soon as I tried to include a Moog synth into my tracks, I almost always ended up replacing it with an SH-style synth as I find it to fit better. Same with Odyssey or Cat. Both great synths but they have a cutting dominance in the mid tones that I don't like too much.
Haha! You don't need to break it for that - you just need the real thing. This is a nice demo, but it really just proves that it sounds nothing like the real Wasp (I can proudly say that I own an OG).
why are there only three octaves on my midi keyboard with this synth, and why does this synth not responding to pitch bend on my midi keyboard? any help is highly appreciated.
Wasp seems to only support three octaves (at least it was the case when I did this demo). I don’t get it and imo this is one of the main design flaws here
Hi mate, quality video, I have a few questions, I have produced for some time but I am new to analogue synth's... I am considering buying the Wasp and a drum machine along with the behringer TD-3, but how do I connect them to a DAW? Do I need a hardware mixer to plug them all into? Or say if I just wanted to record the Wasp synth, can I just plug it directly into my soundcard or laptop through USB and record it live. Sorry for the long questions, any help is much appreciated.
@@Plaxibo cheers for that mate, I’ve got an audio interface, i’m just unsure how to get audio working, I have ordered a jack to XLR, do I just plug this in the back of the synth, into the audio interface? I know that sounds like a daft thing to ask I just want to be certain of what I’m doing. I’m new to hardware
@@Deleted11100 yes, that should do the trick, though you should use a 1/4" jack into your interface. Most interfaces have a line in input or a "combo input" so you can connect an xlr or an 1/4 jack.
What is the first melody from, please tell? It sounds very familiar and will mess my brain up if i dont find out. Awesome video btw. I have subscribed😉
Thanks! It has been a melody that I've programmed just in the moment. But as this isn't a very complex progression, I highly doubt that it was super original and I'm sure there will be similar melodies out there :).

Thanks! As a good starting point you could use the video (on pause) to copy the settings and thus maybe also learn how to create sour own patches. In most of my videos I use the Valhalla DSP line (delay, Vintage room and shimmer) which is great in so many ways.
Is the 'Q' supposed to be resonance? I'm curious why it sounded like reverb. 7:32
Q is Resonance like you’ve mentioned. I made the cut one time without and one time with external reverb (Valhalla room). This might have caused the confusion
Just for my understanding that moment at 3:02 asks for an equalisation cut right? I mean it is slightly too high for comfort, please advice me.
In demo videos, I usually avoid using any EQs. You can do whatever you want if it sounds good to you. Or didn't I get the question?
@@limbicbits I am trying to figure out if I get equalisation right,/ if I am using my ears right, would you say that for recording it would be usual to make a cut in the high end at 3:02?
@@robertsteinberger5667 ah! Rather than targetting primarily the high end, I'd aim for some resonance peaks in the mids and upper mids. But cutting out some of the high-end can be beneficial, too. Especially, if you'd like to place it a bit more in the background.
Just a workflow recommendation. Your approach is absolutely ok as it has been done that way for decades and is still done that way. But given all the advantages in a DAW I'd always record the signal raw first and add EQ, compression, etc later. Especially when learning (well, you never stop learning but I guess you get what I'm trying to say) this will help you to try different things.
What reverb did you use in the last example 10:54 ?
It's been a while but I'm pretty sure that you can hear a Valhalla DSP Shimmer there
i wanted to hear the HPF :)
Wow I think it's hard to choose from all their monos nowadays! I have Model D but I want something with a bit more edge. Would this be it or would you recommend any of the others? K2, Pro-1 and CAT? Thanks!
My favorite is Pro-1 out of their line. But as you’ve said „more edge“ I guess that K2 and wasp would fit even better. Out of these two I’d choose K2 as it has a rougher character.
I would also say the K2 can easily go from clean and beautiful to raw and edgy. Next go with the Pro One or the D.

1:50 roygbiv?
Sounds very much like my Bass station mk 1
interesting that you mention that. Afaik Chris Hugget (RIP), who invented the WASP also played a huge part in the development of the Bass Station.
Is this good for Trance saws? I'm trying to think of a good example... Like the lead from Inside of me(murder remix) I'm looking for that gritty Saw Lead that most european hard trance songs have. I have the sound for z3ta+ Plugin, but i want to branch out to ALL hardware and leave VST's behind.
You can get these kind of sounds from a lot of synths but WASP Deluxe wouldn't be my first choice. If you'd like to switch to hardware, Access Virus (second hand A or B should do the job), or a Roland JP 8000 will cover it 100%. If you prefer to buy new, Novation Peak is a great and flexible alternative: www.thomann.de/intl/novation_peak.htm?offid=1&affid=397
Having a K2, I still don't know if the wasp will add something... I'm not sure if the Wasp can do sounds than K2 couldn't.
I found the WASP a bit smoother and the loop able envelope is cool. But then there is something in its sound that I don’t dig. If searching for an alternative I’d rather have a look at Pro1 or Cat. Both are different enough to coexist with a K2
@@limbicbits Thanks. Now I hesitate between a model D and the odyssey ^_^.
lol - at least this choice is easier as both sound even more different
@@limbicbits It's hard for me to say because when I watch demo of synths... people do the same techno / high resonance sounds and all sounds the same.
@@BarbieChaite In this case, you might just want to give it a try. Model D is almost never a bad choice (for all styles of music), although I personally have some kind of a hate love for that Moog sound. First, I always love them - and still do - but as soon as I tried to include a Moog synth into my tracks, I almost always ended up replacing it with an SH-style synth as I find it to fit better.
Same with Odyssey or Cat. Both great synths but they have a cutting dominance in the mid tones that I don't like too much.
Is that "ENH" or "SNH" for sample and hold?
this seems great, too bad no sub oscillator. would have been the perfect mono bass synth.
Este mini teclado Arturia Keystep pode tocar o Baixo da Drum Machine BOSSDR3 ?
If the BOSS DR3 allows to use a separate midi channel for the Bass Track, it should be possible.
@@limbicbits Thank you!!
do U have a demo with the CAT?
Yes! ruclips.net/video/KIk9jU-XmmA/видео.html
is there always that attack clicky sound or is it just the audio clipping? The sounds are great but my ears get stuck on the clicky attack
Yes, by raising the VCA attack a bit. You can see it at 9:35
How do you break it to make it sound like the old Whitehouse records?
Haha! You don't need to break it for that - you just need the real thing. This is a nice demo, but it really just proves that it sounds nothing like the real Wasp (I can proudly say that I own an OG).
nice
why are there only three octaves on my midi keyboard with this synth, and why does this synth not responding to pitch bend on my midi keyboard? any help is highly appreciated.
Wasp seems to only support three octaves (at least it was the case when I did this demo). I don’t get it and imo this is one of the main design flaws here
How is this connected?
Keystep 32 Midi out --> WASP Midi in. Audio goes straight into a Zoom H4n Field Recorder
I can read Arturia on the keyboard, does anyone know what model this is?
Arturia KeyStep Black Edition (limited).
@@limbicbits thanks!
Hi what operating system are you using and what daw
When making music, I use Mac OSX and Ableton. These demos usually are done without connecting a DAW
Limbic Bits thank you
Hi mate, quality video, I have a few questions, I have produced for some time but I am new to analogue synth's... I am considering buying the Wasp and a drum machine along with the behringer TD-3, but how do I connect them to a DAW? Do I need a hardware mixer to plug them all into? Or say if I just wanted to record the Wasp synth, can I just plug it directly into my soundcard or laptop through USB and record it live.
Sorry for the long questions, any help is much appreciated.
Hi mate, the wasp only receive midi through Usb, so for recording you'll need a mixer or an interface .
@@Plaxibo cheers for that mate, I’ve got an audio interface, i’m just unsure how to get audio working, I have ordered a jack to XLR, do I just plug this in the back of the synth, into the audio interface? I know that sounds like a daft thing to ask I just want to be certain of what I’m doing. I’m new to hardware
@@Deleted11100 yes, that should do the trick, though you should use a 1/4" jack into your interface. Most interfaces have a line in input or a "combo input" so you can connect an xlr or an 1/4 jack.
How do you make it play by it self?
The envelope can be set into loop mode. Or do you refer to the sequences? In this case, the internal sequencer of the keystep controls the WASP
How is this connect to the key step? Midi or usb?
Hi, it's connected directly via MIDI to the key step, although USB with a computer in between would be possible as well.
What is the first melody from, please tell? It sounds very familiar and will mess my brain up if i dont find out. Awesome video btw. I have subscribed😉
Thanks! It has been a melody that I've programmed just in the moment. But as this isn't a very complex progression, I highly doubt that it was super original and I'm sure there will be similar melodies out there :).
machst du auch tracks, oder nur patches und so?
Klar, auch Tracks. Wobei das in letzter Zeit etwas kurz kommt. Z.B. ruclips.net/video/nTb145_uApg/видео.html oder soundcloud.com/colectivotriangular
@@limbicbits danke! Höre ich gerne mal rein.
