The Oberheim TEO-5 is a modern instrument with a classic analogue essence that is sleek and powerful enough for today's audio excursions. TEO-5 is the mark of forward thinking and creative vision by Thomas Elroy Oberheim.
TEO-5 encapsulates the essence of the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS, distilling their famous soul into a small, affordable machine. Genuine analogue VCOs and VCFs will elevate your music to new heights. TEO's five inspiring voices sing with the warmth and force of pure triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waves. Updated oscillators growl with analogue through-zero FM, creating textures never heard before. It's organic and raw, ready to be sculpted with Oberheim's famed SEM filter.
TEO-5 Modern Mastery and Vintage Magic
Dive into TEO-5's accurate OB-8 envelope emulations, as well as the myriad of modulations that shape your sounds with pinpoint precision. Then, unleash the dual digital effects, allowing chorus, delay, and reverb to colour your musical canvas. For a taste of authentic Oberheim alchemy, turn on emulations of Tom's famed Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator, which produce whirling textures and metallic resonances straight from the golden age of synthesis.
TEO-5 Creative and inspiring
The TEO-5's 64-step polyphonic sequencer generates limitless melodic possibilities, while the multimode arpeggiator keeps your rhythms pulsating and thumping. Or play it live on the premium Fatar keybed, with each note brimming with responsive excitement. From soaring leads to cascading chords and booming bass, TEO-5 will improve every area of your musical performance.
From studio to stage, TEO-5 is your sonic passport. A entrance to the Oberheim legacy at a price that allows you to create your own. Whether you are a seasoned pro looking for a small powerhouse or a novice artist starting out on your analogue journey, TEO-5 is calling.
