"The remaining parts need to be ordered and a build guide & parts list for ordering from Mouser / Digikey / etc. can be found at https://www.jaspersynth.co.uk/
*ONLY the PCBs and a few of the harder to source parts are included in the kits from Jasper, everything else has to be ordered on the assemblers end*"
"Included in this kit as bought from the manufacturer are the main PCB, panel PCB, switched pots, IC, trimmers kit, sockets kit, MIDI PCB and programmed MCU.
To complete the synth you will have to add various basic components such as resistors, capacitors, semiconductors, pots and knobs. There are various options for building a case, from DIY woodwork to 3D printing.
All information about the Jasper is on the website at www.jaspersynth.co.uk."
"Jasper midifié (bidouille maison) et boutons en place, la guêpe est habillée.
L'étendue du clavier du Jasper et donc étant limité (3 octaves), j'ai mis en place un renversement automatique bien pratique pour avoir en midi une plus grande étendue sans interruption, ainsi que la (dé)sactivation automatique du midi pour jouer avec le petit clavier intégré.
J'aime vraiment bien le son de la guêpe, ainsi que son ergonomie sommaire mais suffisante."

"Midified jasper (homemade hack) and buttons in place, the wasp is dressed.
The extent of the keyboard of the Jasper and therefore being limited (3 octaves), I set up an automatic reversal very practical to have at noon a greater extent without interruption, as well as the automatic (de) deactivation of the midi to play with the small integrated keyboard.
I really like the sound of the wasp, as well as its basic but sufficient ergonomics. "
"Premiers pas avec la guèpe JASPER, clone du Wasp, en version noknob :D :D
Elle déménage bien. Quel drôle d'instrument ! Peu de commandes, mais l'ensemble est plaisant. Et le son, aussi gros que Lo est vraiment intéressant.
J'aime le filtre que vous allez un peu entendre ;)
Le tout passe juste dans le Hall de la BigSky...."
"Another jam in the style of my favourite electronic group. GRP R24 sequences Arturia Minibrute 2S. Jasper Wasp clone, Mellotron Micro, Korg Microsampler, Waldorf Sreichfett, Korg Triton Extreme, CR8000 drums, Mutant bass and snare."
"Easy and straightforward build.
All music and sounds in the video created by Jasper only. No heavy processing except pad sound (no mixdown nor master)."
Clone of a clone? Depends on the internals. Reminds me of the original Technology Transplant (Cyclone Analogic) TB-303 and x0xb0x clones - see this post. This is also worth a read.
Update: Note the ENV hold switch, ENH waveshape in the oscillator section, and Noise level knob on the Jasper & Behringer clones. They are in the exact same locations yet completely absent on the original. These were introduced in the Jasper.
"This powerful analog synthesizer is a recreation of Electronic Dream Plant’s 1978 cult favorite, the EDP Wasp. Nothing quite compares to the analog tones produced by this monstrous machine. From leg-quivering rumbles in the industrial realm to the pulsing LFO’s of techno, this thing can take you to the ambient landscapes of tomorrow or even the lead solos you crave on your prog rock group.
It is encased in a custom wooden case that used Moog as an inspiration. It will come with a top board that is fastened to the unit and serves as a wooden briefcase, nifty for rolling out of a gig and into the night.
Some issues with the unit: it was built from the ground up. So the knobs aren’t quite calibrated to be the exact degree where the markings say are, for example, square wave or triangle wave. On the filter section, the knob goes right in the middle of each of the markings instead of right on the dot. The bottom right knob is fully functional but for some reason swings to the right in an overt manner (it goes past the delay marking). The top right of the unit where in the input and output are is kept in place by a single nail. A while ago it popped out but I popped it back in. Worst comes to worst, some glue oughta do.
"Jasper Wasp clone. 2 octave mono synth 2 x DCO’s each with SAW, SQUARE and ENHANCED PULSE WIDTH waveforms. EXT audio in. Non midi. Easily upgraded to midi using one of midi kits available. Custom yellow side cheeks one offs"
"Just a simple performance with my DiY Jasper Synth and a 606. The Jasper has MIDI IN and OUT and the custom case is made of acrylic and 3d printed parts. The 606 is connected to the EXT IN of the Jasper."
"A DIY clone build of the 1978 EDP Wasp, it's pretty much 99.5% a Wasp.
Just some random noodling after I put it together.
From 7.13 it's totally dry with no FX
"Jasper Synthesizer Wasp Clone Midi CV GATE AC Adapter panels and pcb's from jaspersynth in the UK
Just built 2 of great synths. Tested calibrated works great and sounds amazing.
Built with top quality parts from Digikey and Mouser electronics.
Comes with all as seen in the pictures.
