With Tinkerbell and a bee printed on it, no less. The last one posted was back in 2011 with a blue front panel; no Tinkerbell or bee. Some details from the listing:

"The Pixie is a clone of the WASP that keeps the salient features of the WASP but replaces the keyboard circuitry with a MIDI interface to provide a more flexible product, giving the user access to a wide range of MIDI controllers including keyboards, seuqncers, laptop/PCs.

To help improve the stability of the design, the two 555-based VCOs and associated decoding ciruitry

have been replaced with a dual-digital oscillator built on the Mitsubishi M16C.

The Pixie expands the original WASP by adding the following extra functions:-
Additional waveshapes on both DCO's (Triangle, Sine and Modulated Square)
2nd WASP Filter
Low-Pass Filter
Ring Modulator
4-channel pre-FilterMixer
4-channel pre-Output Mixer."

EDP SPIDER SEQUENCER

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"A dinky sequencer to accompany the Wasp or Gnat synthesizer and indeed with other analog synths.
This comes from a smoke free studio which has been barely used and was last serviced in Sept'18 by SRS.
Tested and in good working condition prior to listing.
There are very minor signs of wear and tear as expected for something 35+ years old.

Included in the sale:
EDP Spider Sequencer
Link cable to connect with other EDP synths
UK power supply.

The Spider is a 256-note step, or 84-note real time digital sequencer to control the Wasp and/or Gnat. It features a few simple controls for entering notes in step or real time and transposing the sequence a semi-tone, whole-tone, major-3rd, or perfect-5th as well as speed controls. Although it has EDP's own pre-MIDI interface for connecting it to other EDP gear, it also had CV/Gate outputs for connecting it to other analog synths too."

"Legendary EDP Wasp and even more rare the Spider Sequencer by Chris Huggett, quirky looking toy like synth but a serious piece of kit, capable of rip roaring synth lines, fat bass...just straight up dirty with so much character. Great for all types of Electronic music.

These were recently serviced by Synthrestore in Jul'18 and is studio ready.

As expected there are some minor casing cracks on the "Wasp" on three corners of the synth but nothing crazy, and the battery cover is missing.

EDP Caterpillar for EDP Wasp Synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"An extremely rare 'Caterpillar' controller designed by Chris Huggett. The caterpillar has four ports on the back for controlling up to four EDP synthesizers via 7 pin DIN sockets. One link cable is also included (not pictured in this sale).

As you can see this has aged really well, and has been recently serviced by SRS prior to sale.

The two controls on the front panel are for:

1. selecting how many devices you want to control (1-4 or Voice setting).
2. Selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle, there is also a separate Hold setting that gives you the option of also selecting Unison, Poly or Cycle.

The unit powers off of a single 9V battery.

Note: There is a design flaw with the Wasp circuitry that does not allow the lowest C note (first key from the left) to trigger the Wasp. However by the time EDP designed the Gnat they fixed this problem and the lowest C note will trigger a Gnat, this has been tested as I also own a Gnat and Gnat Special. The unit has been tested working fully prior to listing.

This is not a synth but a controller please be informed :)"

EDP (Electronic Dream Plant Ltd) Wasp vintage analog synthesizer + MIDI

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

"Up for sale is a (1) vintage EDP Wasp synthesizer. It's in good working condition and sounds amazing! An unknown type of MIDI kit is installed. The MIDI in (green sticker) and thru (red sticker) are working fine, but the jack inputs at the backside of the synth don't work. We have no idea for what reason they are mounted there. On the MIDI board inside we found the following text: MIDI Wah 1.0

The keyboard is working fine, the battery compartment is clean, the battery compartment lid is still there, the plastic case has no cracks or missing parts, all the screws are there, the speaker is working, and it powers up with batteries (not included) and 9v psu adaptor (included, European plug installed on the adaptor)."
