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 featuring classic analogue sound generation, yet elegant and powerful enough to meet today’s sonic demands.
Welcome to the Oberheim Renaissance
The TEO-5 captures the secrets of the OB-X, Four Voice and TVS, whose legendary spirit has been distilled into a compact, affordable dream machine. It is 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 genuine 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 no old-school synth. Updated oscillators utilise analogue through-zero FM to produce textures never heard before. It’s organic and raw, ready to be shaped by the legendary SEM filter – the heart of Oberheim, which has beaten through countless hits over the last five decades.
Modern perfection meets vintage magic
Immerse yourself in the TEO-5’s faithful OB-8 envelope emulations and the wide range of modulation options that let you shape your sounds with pinpoint precision. You can then craft your soundscape using the two digital effects: chorus, delay and reverb. And for a taste of Oberheim’s true history, select the emulations of Tom’s legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator to conjure up swirling textures and metallic resonances straight from the golden age of synthesis.
Creative and inspiring
It’s not just a synthesiser, it’s a playground. The TEO-5’s 64-note polyphonic sequencer opens up endless melodic possibilities, whilst the multimode arpeggiator makes your rhythms pulse and throb. Or play live with the first-class Fatar keybed, which infuses every note with a responsive, joyful feel. From soaring leads to cascading chords and thundering basslines – the 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 Oberheim’s legacy and an affordable entry point into your hobby. Whether you’re an experienced professional looking for a compact powerhouse or a new artist embarking on your analogue adventure, the TEO-5 welcomes you.
It is Tom Oberheim’s dream come true. It is your sonic legacy, waiting to be written.
Welcome to the TEO-5.
