Plughugger has returned with another hardware centric soundset for the Omnisphere virtual instrument from Spectrasonics.
UltraWasp features a collection of sounds based on the EDP Wasp, one of the most prolific monosynths from the 1970s with a raw and uncompromisingly fat tone.
With UltraWasp we sampled all aspects of the Behringer Wasp Deluxe, from the raw oscillators and the saturated filter to the lofi LFO which is excellent for creating strange textures and effect sounds with. We even created a handful of drum and percussion sounds with the Wasp, although the hardware envelopes are quite sloppy and ideal for drums but we pushed the sound as far as we could, then brought it all into Omnisphere for further processing.
UltraWasp features 244 sounds, including arps, synths and leads, drums and percussion, pads and strings, bass, textures and soundscapes, effects and multis.
To bring a further dimension to the Wasp, Plughugger has also sampled the Wasp running through an Elektron Analog Heat +FX multiprocessor, with various effects to bring the Wasp into new sonic territories. Both harder, using the analog saturation and/or the bitcrusher, and softer by drenching the whole signal in reverb and chorus, the “Hot Bug” collection adds another 50 sounds to the package.
UltraWasp is on sale for the intro price of 9.90 EUR until March 17th, 2024 (regular 39.90 EUR). Use coupon code WASP at the checkout to get the discount.
