Jürgen Haible’s WASP Filter adaption of the famous CMOS VCF introduced some unique features, in particular 
a distortion stage. The R*S version takes this a step further by turning it into a dual version with a dynamic link 
that allows to combine the filters in series or parallel or anything in between - even voltage controlled. Also, each 
side can blend from lowpass to highpass or bandpass (yes, the notch is in there, too!) creating infinite filterbank 
combinations. A Sync switch has been added to be able to control both side’s cutoff frequency with from the left 
side. The unique distortion can be configured to PRE or POST for each side.

The R*S kit is the only authorised adaption of the Haible WASP VCF for Eurorack.

Blend from Lowpass to Highpass or Bandpass. 

 

• 

Distortion can be configured to be PRE or POST.

• 

MODE blends from serial to parallel setup - even CV controlled.

• 

SYNC: control Cutoff of both filters at the same time.

• 

Infinite options from 4-pole VCF to Stereo filter.

• 

Massive drone machineComplex oscillator when patched to self-oscillate.
