SOUND MODULE OR SYNTHESIZER Oberheim's legacy is now yours: Discover TEO-5
Thomas Elroy Oberheim. TEO. More than a set of letters, this name embodies the vision of a pioneer in the world of synthesizers. The TEO-5 represents modern synthesis with the classic soul of analog, designed for contemporary sonic explorations.
Welcome to the Oberheim Renaissance
The TEO-5 holds the secrets of the legendary OB-X, Four Voice and TVS, distilling the iconic spirit of Oberheim into a compact and accessible unit. It is the realization of Tom the master's vision, offering a timeless sound palette.
Immerse yourself in the TEO-5
Create your music with authentic analog VCOs and VCFs. The TEO-5's five voices resonate with the warmth and power of pure waves such as triangle, saw and pulse. But this is not an old synthesizer. Updated oscillators explore analog FM, bringing to life never-before-heard textures. It's organic and raw, ready to be shaped with the legendary SEM filter, the heart of Oberheim present in countless musical hits for decades.
Union of modern artistry and vintage magic
Explore the TEO-5's immersive OB-8 emulations and the various modulations that sculpt its sounds with precision. Then, dive into dual digital effects, letting Chorus, Delay, and Reverb color your soundscape. And for true Oberheim magic, activate emulations of Tom's legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator, evoking resonant, metallic textures from the golden age of synthesis.
Creative and inspiring
It's not just a synth, it's a playground. The TEO-5's 64-step polyphonic sequencer offers endless melodic possibilities, while the multi-mode arpeggiator keeps your beats vibrant. Or play it live on the high-quality Fatar keyboard, with every note bursting with music. The TEO-5 will elevate every aspect of your musical performance, from leads to chords to deep bass.
From the studio to the stage, the TEO-5 is your ticket to the sonic world of Oberheim, all at an affordable price to unleash your own creativity. Whether you're a seasoned professional looking for compact power or a new artist exploring the analog world, the TEO-5 invites you to discover it.
It's Tom Oberheim's dream come true. It is your sonic legacy waiting to be written.
Welcome to the TEO-5.
