Did you know the heritage of the modern Novation synth range spans five decades? It goes right back to EDP's Wasp in 1978 — which had the same filter as the first BassStation — and includes the OSCar, the legendary monosynth used in Jean-Michel Jarre's Revolutions Overture. (To read more about the OSCar, read our retro synth piece on it from 1999.)
The unifying factor here is our synth designer, Chris Huggett. The same man who designed Wasp and OSCar also created the sound engines for all of Novation's modern synths, drawing on decades of experience and expertise as a pioneer of synthesis.
To celebrate this rich synth heritage, Novation are giving awat a genuine, fully restored OSCar. It's one of just 2000 ever produced and has been valued at over £5000!

The competition closes on 31st August, 2015.
