Chris Huggett (1946–2020) was a British engineer whose designs spanned some of the most distinctive British synthesizers from the 1970s through the 1990s.

With Adrian Wagner he co-founded Electronic Dream Plant (EDP) and created the Wasp — a striking yellow monosynth with a touch keyboard and aggressive filter that became a cult favorite among punk and new-wave musicians. Huggett followed with the Spider sequencer and the OSCar, a hybrid digital/analog monosynth with user-programmable waveforms.

After EDP, Huggett joined Octave-Plateau and contributed to the Voyetra series before co-founding Novation in 1992. There he designed the Bass Station, a portable TB-303-inspired monosynth, and later the Supernova and Nova lines — virtual-analog polysynths that brought powerful multi-timbral sound to studios and stages at accessible prices.

Huggett's circuits favored musical immediacy: resonant filters, snappy envelopes, and interfaces that invited experimentation. His instruments remain staples in electronic, dance, and soundtrack production.
