After the K-20 Synthesizer teaser, Behringer has another clone in the work. According to matrixsynth.com, Behringer has recently filed a trademark application for the WASP Deluxe Synthesizer. As you can see in the documents, MusicGroup (Behringer) got the trademark.
Already in December 2017 leaks were in the media where they talked about the K-20 as well as the WASP Deluxe. At the same time, the feature list was also released on the Music Tribe website. Whether these are true, we will see.
Behringer described in the leak the product as a legendary analog Synthesizer with dual OSC’s, VCF, multi-mode VCF, 16-voice poly-chain, and Eurorack format.

I think the WASP Deluxe Synthesizer from Behringer will become reality due of the leaked info on the website from 2017 and the recent Trademark entry. If I get more information including photos, I will update the article asap. The leak from 2017 is available here.

So the release of the eurorack case makes senses now.
