Oberheim TEO-5 modules

A compact controller that activates Serato Studio as soon as you plug it in and gives you clearly structured access to sampling, beat programming and creative effects. The close integration with Serato software makes the device an intuitive tool for fast work - from the first sample to the finished pattern.Transport & workflow controlThe central control section bundles all the essential functions for your production flow. Play and record are available as easily recognisable, circular buttons and are based on familiar AlphaTheta operating concepts. A large rotary wheel enables browsing, precise scrubbing in audio files and parameter access. Together with the Focus mode, you can even control external plug-ins directly via the controller, without prior mapping. This ensures direct handling of sound and timing.OLED display & encoder areaThe display shows parameter values and status information in a clearly legible form. It remains clear when switching modes and its brightness can be adjusted. Four touch-sensitive encoders handle EQ, stems, effects or additional parameters - including a print function. The coloured LEDs underneath reflect software statuses and make it easier to find your way around complex projects.Performance pads & sample controlWith 16 velocity-sensitive pads including aftertouch, you have an expressive playing field for drums, melodies and FX performances. The colour-coded LED bar above each pad is based on the style of the Serato surfaces and increases visual feedback. Various pad modes - such as pad FX, piano mode or step sequencing - can be selected directly. Functions such as Auto-Set or Favourite help to quickly mark and organise samples.Touch Strip & Stems controlThe 130 mm touch strip offers sensitive control of filters, effect strengths, pitch bending, repeat rates or swing. RGB feedback ensures that every movement remains visible. The Stems Level function goes one step further: you can use the encoders to control the volume of individual components of a sample - such as vocals, drums or bass - directly in the hardware. This saves preparation time and expands creative combination options when producing or performing.Flexible use & compact designThe controller is designed for Serato Studio, but also supports Serato Sample, Serato DJ Pro and other DAWs in MIDI mode. The compact format - smaller than DIN A4 - fits easily into mobile setups. The two-tone grey, clearly separated functional areas and the USB-C cable supplied round off the well thought-out design.

The perfect fitThe OB-X8 synthesiser has been universally praised for bringing the classic Oberheim sound to a new generation. And now all the OB-X8 presets, synthesis functions and sound editing controls are available in a compact package that fits into any creative space.The new OB-X8 desktop version has everything the keyboard version has, with the exception of the 61-voice Fatar keybed and pitch and modulation levers. But don't let that stop you from experiencing all the sonic power of the Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 in a format that's compact enough for studios of any size and convenient enough to take on the road!Think Small, Play BigThe OB-X8 desktop module features an identical sound engine to the keyboard version and offers an all-analogue signal path with discrete VCOs, VCAs and filters. And thanks to the knob-per-function principle, you have instant access to virtually all of the synthesiser's parameters, so you can create your own unique sounds with ease and precision.Pure analogue!The audio signal path of the OB-X8 is completely analogue and is bursting with warmth and punch. It's the same signature Oberheim sound that made iconic tracks like Prince's "1999", Van Halen's "Jump" and Rush's "Tom Sawyer" so memorable. And now you can enrich your own music with this sound.Completely new soundsThe classic OB Series factory sounds you know from countless recordings are all here. But that's just the beginning: our network of world-class sound designers has developed stunning new sounds especially for the OB-X8. And because the OB-X8 has clear and easy-to-understand controls, creating your own sounds is as simple as turning a few knobs and saving the sounds you want.Three in oneThe OB-X8 combines the three different voice architectures of the OB-X, OB-Xa and OB-8 into a single instrument. The individual filter types and other unique characteristics of each model have been faithfully recreated so that you can experience the OB as authentically as possible. You can even mix elements from different models to create sounds that were never possible with the originals. Never before has a synthesiser from the OB series been so powerful and versatile.Page 2022OB aficionados know that the countless "Page 2 functions unleash the hidden power of the original OB-8. We've taken all the classic Page 2 parameters and created new ones for the 2022, giving you direct access to more than 40 nuanced controls, such as additional SEM filter modes, per-voice panning, LFO keyboard tracking, mod delay time and envelope inversion, independent pulse width control and much more.
