OberheimTEO-5 Polyphonic Analog Keyboard Synthesizer

Oberheim TEO-5

Unleash the next generation of legendary Oberheim sound with TEO-5, a 5-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer offering the best of Oberheim's classic designs in a compact powerhouse instrument. Marking a new chapter for the legendary synth company, TEO-5 delivers the classic analog sound of SEM oscillators and filters, through-zero FM, and faithfully recreated models of Tom Oberheim's phase shifter and ring modulator. With a name that bears Tom's own initials, this synth is the culmination of Oberheim's impactful legacy, offering the best in vintage analog sound with modern features - all at a price point more accessible than any Oberheim offering to date.

The rich and raw sound of analog VCOs and VCFs are at the heart of TEO-5, with warmth and punch that cuts through any mix from studio to stage. Triangle, saw, and variable pulse waves give you plenty of timbral options before sending your signal into the legendary sculpting power of the state-variable SEM filter. Thru-zero X-mod FM adds even further harmonic content, with an adjustable mod amount that helps you dial in the exact amount of FM from clean metallic tones to biting FM percussion. For authentic Oberheim flavor, turn back time with the Vintage knob, adding voice-to-voice variations to emulate the subtle instability of vintage electronics. Dedicated reverb, multi-effect, and overdrive effects put the icing on the cake, perfecting the huge pads, punchy leads, and evocative textures of the Oberheim sound.

TEO-5 harnesses this immense and powerful sound with flexible modulation and performative controls. The premium Fatar keybed tracks velocity and channel aftertouch for expressive live playing, while a 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator drive powerful rhythms and melodies. Two velocity-sensitive DADSR envelope generators and two tempo-syncable LFOs route to many destinations, unlocking expressive and experimental timbres.

With 256 factory programs to explore and 256 user slots to fill with your own creative patch presets, the TEO-5 is an inspiring studio companion right out of the box. Whether you're buying your first synthesizer or adding to a large arsenal of electronic instruments, TEO-5 has the features, price-point, and unmistakable sound to satisfy any synthesist.
