Product Description
Experience the full power of Oberheim synthesis in a compact, desktop format with the TEO-5 Desktop Module. Built for musicians and producers seeking signature analog warmth and cutting edge flexibility, the TEO-5 retains everything that makes the original keyboard version so revered, now in a space-saving design. With genuine analogue oscillators, the legendary SEM filter, and an expansive modulation matrix, it delivers deep sonic versatility. The intuitive knob-per-function layout makes hands-on sound design fast and rewarding, letting you shape your sound in real time with total control. Whether you're exploring rich vintage tones or pushing the boundaries with modern FM textures and effects, the TEO-5 gives you the tools to do both, without compromise. Its seamless studio integration, generous patch memory, and high-quality construction make it a perfect centrepiece or addition to any setup. With the TEO-5 Desktop Module, you’re not sacrificing capability for size; you’re redefining what’s possible in your studio.
Key Features:
- Genuine Analog Sound Engine:
Delivers rich tones with two VCOs per voice, sub oscillators, selectable waveshapes and through-zero FM for expansive sonic depth. - Legendary SEM Filter:
Continuously variable state knob morphs between low pass, notch, and high pass with precise envelope shaping and velocity modulation. - Compact, Intuitive Design:
All synthesis parameters are easily accessible via the top panel with a knob-per-function layout for fast, intuitive real time control.
Studio Ready Integration:
Whether you’re working in a professional studio or a compact home setup, the TEO-5 Desktop Module fits effortlessly into your environment. With MIDI, USB and expression pedal support, it connects easily to your existing gear. Balanced stereo outputs and a dedicated headphone jack ensure clean, reliable audio monitoring. Its streamlined size means it won’t dominate your workspace, but its sound certainly will. For those who value both form and function, the TEO-5 strikes the perfect balance between performance and practicality.
Classic Tone with Modern Control:
The TEO-5 offers true analogue synthesis backed by deep modulation and performance tools. The 19-slot modulation matrix gives you flexible routing between 64 destinations and 19 sources, including audio rate options. Five stage envelopes, velocity control, aftertouch, dual LFOs, and channel aftertouch deliver dynamic sound shaping potential. For those who crave control, it provides precision without complexity. And with a vintage knob that simulates component variation, you can dial in a uniquely organic feel.
Performance Without Limits:
From studio sessions to live performances, the TEO-5 Desktop Module delivers a responsive, expressive experience. Use the polyphonic step sequencer to build up to 64-step sequences with ties and rests, or dive into the versatile arpeggiator with multiple modes and tempo sync. Dedicated effects including Oberheim phase shifter, reverb, delays and distortion give your sounds character and space. Real-time performance controls such as hold, unison and portamento offer further musical flexibility, while 256 user patch slots let you recall the perfect sound instantly.
