The Oberheim Legacy is Yours - Oberheim TEO-5 Analog Synthesizer
Enter TEO-5 Meet the TEO-5, a modern synth designed with the analog heart that defined the golden age of synthesis. The initials TEO stand for Thomas Elroy Oberheim, whose pioneering vision is embodied in this powerful, sleek instrument tailored for today's musical explorations. Drawing inspiration from iconic models like the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS, the TEO-5 is a compact, affordable dream machine that captures the essence of Oberheim's legendary sound. This is the instrument Tom Oberheim always envisioned—a device offering a timeless tone palette that is both unleashed and accessible.

Simultaneously selectable waveshapes for each oscillator: triangle, saw, variable pulse
Dedicated front-panel X-Mod control for through-zero FM
Classic SEM filter with selectable Band-Pass mode
State knob continuously morphs from Low-Pass through Notch to High-Pass
2 five-stage (DADSR) envelope generators and 2 LFOs with tempo sync

Innovative Design Combining Modern Mastery and Vintage Magic
The TEO-5 not only pays homage to classic synths but enhances them with modern technology. It features genuine analog VCOs and VCFs that produce rich, warm tones through triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waves. Unlike vintage synthesizers, the TEO-5 includes updated oscillators that introduce analog through-zero FM for creating unprecedented textures. At the core of its sound-shaping capabilities lies the legendary SEM filter, renowned for its role in countless hit songs over the past five decades. The synth also offers precise envelope emulations from the OB-8, and dual digital effects like chorus, delay, and reverb, further expanded by emulations of Tom's original Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator for even more sonic variety.
A Creative Playground for the Modern Musician
The TEO-5 is designed not just as a musical instrument but as a comprehensive playground for creativity. Its 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator invite endless melodic exploration, while the premium Fatar keybed provides a responsive and joyful playing experience. Whether you're crafting soaring leads, cascading chords, or thunderous bass, the TEO-5 enhances every aspect of your performance. Ideal for both studio recordings and live performances, it serves as a bridge to the Oberheim legacy, accessible and ready to inspire music creators from seasoned professionals to new enthusiasts embarking on their analog journeys. This isn't just Tom Oberheim's dream realized—it's an invitation to define your own sonic legacy with the TEO-5.
