Expanded Wasp - 1. Still the sound of the filter

I'm starting here another series of videos, this one featuring the Wasp « deluxe ». This synthesizer was originally made by Electronic Dream Plant at the end of the 70's, and re-issued by Behringer a few years ago.
This little synth is a little difficult to play :
 - there is no control voltage,
 - the oscillators can track MIDI, but only on a 3-octave range (you have to manually turn a selector knob to get the whole ambitus),
 - there are outputs for the two oscillators, and an external input, so you can insert some treatment before the filter, but you cannot suppress the two « dry » oscillators from the mix (the level control knob affects the oscillator's output at the same time than the mix, a curious choice...).
And i don't know why, but even with all these drawbacks, i still love this machine.

I start with just the Wasp (and a bit of reverberation) ; i'll add the Eurorack system in the next videos.
