Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer Keyboard

Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer Keyboard

Thomas Elroy Oberheim. TEO. More than his initials, they mark the culmination of a synth pioneer’s vision.  TEO-5 captures the secrets of the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS, their legendary spirit distilled into an innovative dream machine.

Oscillators

Take your music to the next level with genuine analog VCOs. TEO’s five inspiring voices sing with the warmth and power of pure triangle, sawtooth and pulse waves. But this isn’t your grandfather’s synth. Updated oscillators roar with analog through-zero FM, birthing textures never heard before in an Oberheim instrument.

TEO-5 is your gateway to new sonic frontiers with modern modulations and vintage warmth. Experiment with through-zero FM shaped by the legendary SEM filter, topped off with iconic Oberheim effects. Compact, affordable, and bursting with creativity, TEO-5 sparks your musical journey, whether you’re a  budding artist or a seasoned pro.

Multi-Effects

Unleash the dual digital effects, letting chorus, delay, and reverb paint your sonic canvas. And for a taste of true Oberheim alchemy, dial in emulations of Tom’s legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator, conjuring swirling textures and metallic resonances straight from the golden age of synthesis.

Arpeggiator & Sequencer

TEO-5 is a sonic playground. Its 64-step polyphonic sequencer sparks infinite melodic possibilities, while the multimode arpeggiator keeps your rhythms pulsing and pounding. Or play it live with the premium Fatar keybed, every note awash with responsive joy. From soaring leads to cascading chords and thunderous basses, TEO-5 will elevate every aspect of your musical performance.
