In 2014, we had the privelege of interviewing legendary synthesizer designer Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits, who passed away on Sunday May 29 2022. This interview has never been released. We present it in its unedited form, the day after the public announcement his passing. R.I.P. (1950-2022).”
“I think we were kind of realizing before everybody else that…the software stuff is cool, but it´s no fun and and it doesn´t sound quite as good and so we started getting back in the hardware and then of course the rest is history. It´s in the last 10 years everybody, not everybody, but a lot more people are making that same conclusion and drifting away from software and getting back not only into hardware, but specifically into analog hardware, because it´s just got that sound, it´s got the immediacy a lot that you don´t get out of digital sense, you know, I can go on forever, a million reasons for why it´s so much better. .. I´m sure there are a lot of uh musicians who go straight to hardware..become
keyboard players just because they can do so much more with it. (Dave Smith)(2014)”

The WASP is an iconic British synthesizer designed by Electronic Dream Plant in 1978.
…
They only traded until around 1982, but that wasn´t the end of their synth story. Chris H. in particular has had a prolific career in the industry, founding the Oxford Synthesizer Company in 1983 and releasing the (also iconic) OSCar and subsequently (after work with Akai), he joined Novation, who are still trading to this very day.
Back to 1978, the concept of the WASP was to build a powerful, low cost synthesizer.
That seemed to have worked as one of the original reviews I found uses the headline
“The Synth we can all afford” but still dubs it a professional instrument.”
I also found a Moog price list dated June 15th 1978 and it lists the Minimoog as $1,995, the Multimoog as $1,495 and the Micromoog as $895. Assuming they sold for about the same in the UK, the equivalent prices would be approximately £1,090, £820 and £490 respectively. The aforementioned WASP review also states that an Odyssey is still over £1,000 in 1978, so with the WASP priced at £199 this demonstrates what a bargain (Schnäppchen/Angebot) it was at the time.
In fact, I had a brief conversation with a friend who remembers running out to buy it the moment he heard about it in 1978 and he still has his. …
In this video I breakdown its features and use it to make a short track.”
