TEO-5: A Dream Realized
Thank you for purchasing the Oberheim TEO-5!
Small but powerful, this is the polyphonic synthesizer I have dreamed of making
for years – ve voices, classic analog warmth, full of great features. The TEO-5
is designed to make the classic Oberheim tone palette widely accessible, encap-
sulating decades of analog engineering experience in a forward-thinking and
innovative musical instrument.
The TEO-5 boasts a ve-voice architecture with genuine analog VCOs and
VCFs, capturing the distinctive warmth and depth that dened countless hit
records. But the TEO-5 isn’t just a tribute to the past. Additions like through-zero
FM, which adds a contemporary twist to its oscillator X-Mod feature, allow for
the exploration of entirely new sonic textures. And the legendary Oberheim SEM
lter offers the versatility of morphing between low-pass, notch, and high-pass
congurations, along with a switchable band-pass mode for extensive tonal shap-
ing.
Beyond its core synthesis architecture, the TEO-5 features a comprehensive
modulation matrix, opening a world of possibilities for sculpting and transform-
ing sounds. Digital effects processors provide classic chorus, delay, reverb, and
more, alongside faithful recreations of the revered Oberheim Ring Mod and
Phase Shifter effects. A 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeg-
giator further fuel creative exploration, while a premium Fatar keybed ensures a
responsive and inspiring playing experience.
We hope the TEO-5 unlocks your creativity in ways you never expected.
