The Oberheim legacy is yours: TEO-5.

Thomas Elroy Oberheim. TEO. More than just his initials, they mark the culmination of a synthesiser pioneer's vision. The TEO-5 is a modern instrument with classic analogue sound generation, yet elegant and powerful for the sonic demands of today.

Welcome to the Oberheim Renaissance

TEO-5 captures the secrets of the OB-X, Four Voice and TVS, their legendary spirit brought into a compact, affordable dream factory. It's what Tom, the maestro himself, always wanted to build: a timeless sound palette, unadulterated and accessible.

Step up to the TEO-5

Take your music to the next level with real analogue VCOs and VCFs. The TEO's five inspiring voices sing with the warmth and power of pure triangle, sawtooth and pulse waves. But this is not your grandfather's synthesiser. Updated oscillators work with analogue through-zero FM to bring out textures never heard before. It's organic and raw, ready to be processed with the legendary SEM filter, the Oberheim centrepiece that beats in countless hits from the last five decades.

Modern perfection meets vintage magic

Immerse yourself in the faithful OB-8 envelope emulations of the TEO-5 and the multitude of modulations with which you can shape your sounds with pinpoint accuracy. You can then use the two digital effects chorus, delay and reverb to shape your sound. And for a taste of Oberheim's true history, dial in emulations of Tom's legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator to conjure up swirling textures and metallic resonances straight out of the golden age of synthesis.

Creative and inspiring

It's not just a synthesiser, it's a playground. The TEO-5's 64-step polyphonic sequencer opens up endless melodic possibilities, while the multimode arpeggiator lets your rhythms pulse and throb. Or play live with the first-class Fatar keybed, which fills every note with a responsive joy of playing. From soaring leads to cascading chords to thundering basses, TEO-5 will enhance every aspect of your musical performance.

The TEO-5 is your sonic passport - from the studio to the stage. A gateway to the Oberheim heritage and an affordable introduction to your hobby. Whether you're a seasoned pro looking for a compact powerhouse or a new artist starting your analogue adventure, TEO-5 invites you in.

It's Tom Oberheim's dream come true. It's your sonic legacy waiting to be written.

Welcome to the TEO-5.
