This modern classic was crafted to honor Oberheim's legendary legacy while providing a sleek and powerful instrument for today's sonic explorations. TEO-5 distills the iconic spirit of the OB-X, Four Voice and TVS into an affordable, compact synth. It's the realization of Tom Oberheim's vision for an accessible yet timeless tone palette.</p> <h3>Genuine Analog Sound Engine</h3> <p style="font-family: Arial;">Take your music to new heights with TEO-5's analog VCOs and VCFs. Its five inspiring voices sing with the warmth and depth of pure waveshapes, from shimmering triangles to roaring sawtooths and pulsing pulse waves. TEO-5's oscillators are updated for today, harnessing analog through-zero FM to birth exotic textures. Sculpt your sounds with the legendary SEM filter, the heart of Oberheim's signature tone that beats in countless hit songs. From buttery smooth to aggressively resonant, the SEM filter is your portal to vintage magic.</p> <h3>Vintage Character, Modern Control</h3> <p style="font-family: Arial;">Dive into TEO-5's spot-on emulations of the OB-8's envelopes, crafting your sounds with surgical precision. Unleash the dual digital effects, letting chorus, delay and reverb splash color across your sonic canvas. For a taste of true Oberheim alchemy, dial in emulations of Tom's legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator, conjuring metallic swirls and resonances from the golden age of synthesis.</p> <h3>A Playground for Creativity</h3> <p style="font-family: Arial;">TEO-5 is more than a synth, it's a playground for melodic exploration. Its 64-step polyphonic sequencer sparks rhythmic possibilities, while the multimode arpeggiator keeps your pulses pounding. Or grab TEO-5's premium keyboard, every keystroke awash in analog joy. From soaring leads to thundering bass, TEO-5 elevates your musical performance. In the studio or on stage, TEO-5 is your passport to the Oberheim legacy and your own sonic adventures. </p> </font>", "value":"1,499.99", "priceMin":"1,499.99", "priceMax":"1,499.99", "priceSavingsMaxPrice":"0.00", "priceSavingsMaxPercent":"0", "inventory":"158", "brand":"Oberheim", "reviewStarImageUrl": "https://static.musiciansfriend.com/img/brand/mf/cmn/Sprit-Sm-Stars.png", "reviewStarRating":"5.0", "reviewStarRatingInteger":"10", "reviewHowManyReviews":"1", "usedOrNew":"new", "discontinued":"0", "onOrder":"0", "clearance":"0", "canBeSold":"1", "accessoryCategories":"site1LJS,site1HAR,site1LIC", "stickerText": ""}
