The new Behringer WASP DELUXE is a legendary hybrid synthesizer with dual OSCs, multi-mode VCF, 16-voice poly chain and it's in eurorack format too. This video is worth a watch!

There's a flurry of new announcements from Behringer. Yes, even more than usual. Aside from the "warp feature" for what we believe to be the Model D (perhaps a polyphonic Model D coming soon also), the synthesizer power house has just announced the WASP Deluxe.

Here's a video showcasing the WASP DELUXE in action:

Behringer Wasp Deluxe is a recreation of the popular, portable 1978 The Wasp. Here's the spec of the eurorack compatible version being released in 2019:
