OBERHEIM TEO-5 Synthesizer

The Oberheim TEO-5 synthesizer is a remarkable instrument that embodies the legacy of synth pioneer Thomas Elroy Oberheim. It’s designed to capture the essence of classic Oberheim models like the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS, while incorporating modern features for today’s musicians. Here’s a detailed description of the TEO-5:

Enhanced Oscillators

  • Genuine Analog VCOs: The TEO-5 features genuine analog voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) that deliver the warmth and power of pure triangle, sawtooth, and pulse waves.
  • Updated Oscillators: These oscillators provide analog through-zero frequency modulation (FM), enabling the creation of textures never before heard in an Oberheim instrument.

Signature SEM Filter

  • Legendary SEM Filter: The TEO-5 includes the renowned Synthesizer Expander Module (SEM) filter, known for its authentic Oberheim tone and presence.
  • Filter State Knob: This knob allows morphing from low-pass to high-pass through notch, with a selectable band-pass mode, offering versatile sound shaping.

Modulation and Effects

  • Modulation Matrix: A 19-slot matrix with 19 sources and 64 destinations provides almost limitless possibilities for sound shaping.
  • Dual Digital Effects: Includes chorus, delay, and reverb, as well as emulations of Tom Oberheim’s legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator.

Arpeggiator & Sequencer

  • Full-Featured Arpeggiator: The TEO-5 comes with an advanced arpeggiator.
  • Polyphonic Step Sequencer: Capable of handling up to 64 steps, offering extensive sequencing capabilities.

Compact and Accessible

  • Design: Despite its powerful features, the TEO-5 is compact and affordable, making it an excellent choice for both budding artists and seasoned professionals.

Awards and Recognition

  • Accolades: The TEO-5 has been recognized for its quality and innovation, winning Sonicstate’s Best Polysynth at Superbooth 24.
The TEO-5 synthesizer is a gateway to new sonic frontiers, blending modern modulations with vintage warmth to inspire musicians of all levels. Whether you’re looking to recreate classic Oberheim sounds or explore new musical landscapes, the TEO-5 is designed to spark creativity and expand your musical palette.
Oscillators

Oscillators: Yes

A powerful oscillator system allows users to create rich and variable sound textures. Oscillators can generate a variety of waveforms, including sine, square, triangle, and noise, allowing for creativity and experimentation.

Arpeggiator

Arpeggiator: Yes

The Arpeggiator transforms chords into sequences of individual notes played in various rhythmic and melodic patterns. Instead of playing the chords as a harmonic whole, the Arpeggiator breaks the chords into individual notes and plays them sequentially according to the selected algorithm.

Aftertouch

Aftertouch: Yes

Aftertouch technology on the keys allows musicians to add a new level of expression to their playing. When a key reaches the bottom of its stroke, the pressure exerted on the key can continue to be sensed and used to control various aspects of the sound, such as vibrato, volume, or tone modulation.

Outputs

Outputs

  • MIDI OUT
  • 6,3mm Line OUT

Headphone Output: Yes

The headphone output allows direct connection of headphones for private listening. This output provides a convenient way to enjoy the sound without disturbing others or ambient noise.

Keyboard Technology

  • Fatar
  • Semi Weighted

Pitch Bend: Yes

The Pitch Bend allows smooth pitch changes, adding expressiveness to musical expression. Often used to create effects such as glissando or vibrato, this feature allows the player to make subtle or dramatic changes to the sound in real time. Pitch bend allows musicians to create smooth transitions between notes, increasing the dynamics and expressiveness of their performances.

LFO: Yes

An LFO, or low frequency oscillator, brings electronic sound to life. It adds movement and interest to synthetic sounds and effects, playing an important role in both subtle synthesis and bold sound design. However, you won't hear the LFO itself because it acts as a modulator. This means that it does not directly affect the audio signal, but adjusts other parameters such as oscillator pitch and filter clipping.

MIDI Interface: Yes

It supports MIDI, allowing you to connect and communicate with other MIDI-compatible devices. This feature extends control and integration into the larger music environment, increasing flexibility and creativity in music creation.

Sequencer: Yes

The sequencer provides musicians with a tool for composing and arranging music, allowing them to create and edit musical sequences. This feature allows you to record and play back repeating patterns. This makes it easy to create complex rhythms and melodies. The sequencer also allows you to layer different musical elements on top of each other, sync with other devices, and adjust parameters in real time. This flexibility makes the sequencer an invaluable tool for producing music, experimenting with new sounds and creating original compositions.

Inputs

  • MIDI thru
  • MIDI IN

Modulation: Yes

Modulation allows you to change different aspects of the sound in real time, opening up a wide range of creative possibilities. For example, it can affect the pitch of the sound, creating a vibrato effect, or it can change the amplitude of the signal, creating a tremolo effect. It can also adjust filtering to create smooth transitions between frequency bands and dynamic textures. Modulation can also be used to change the character of the sound depending on the time or intensity of playing, giving the sound a lively and moving character.

Pedal Inputs: Yes

The pedal input allows you to connect an external pedal that expands the instrument's control capabilities and contributes to a richer musical expression, increasing flexibility and expressiveness when playing and creating music.

Envelope: Yes

The Envelope filter gives you precise control over the dynamics and shape of the sound. This filter provides greater flexibility in adjusting and customizing sound characteristics, enhancing the overall quality and expressiveness of the performance.

Polyphony: Yes

The polyphony of this instrument allows up to <%=tp_value % notes to be played simultaneously, providing rich and complex musical possibilities.
