At the heart of the TEO-5 lies its pure analog signal path, featuring genuine VCOs and VCFs that capture the quintessential Oberheim warmth and power. Each voice boasts selectable waveshapes — triangle, sawtooth, and variable pulse — providing a rich palette for creating unique sound textures. Coupled with analog through-zero FM synthesis, the TEO-5 allows for the creation of new sonic textures previously unachievable in older Oberheim models.
The classic SEM filter in the TEO-5 is a central feature, enabling artists to shape their sounds with precision. This versatile filter transitions seamlessly from low-pass to high-pass, with a notch filter setting in between, controlled by a simple state knob. This flexibility is vital for both live performances and studio sessions, offering musicians the ability to adapt and tweak their sound on the fly.
TEO-5's 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator are gateways to endless creative expansions. Whether you're composing complex sequences or need rhythmic accompaniment, these tools are designed to enhance musical expression. The sequencer invites intricate melodic construction, while the arpeggiator keeps the rhythm engaging and diverse, suitable for any musical genre.
The Oberheim TEO-5 is equipped with a premium semi-weighted Fatar keyboard, known for its expressiveness and sensitivity to touch, making every performance a nuanced experience. Adding further to its performance arsenal are the dedicated digital effects, including reverb, multiple delay types, and legendary modulators. These effects not only enrich the sound but also bring Oberheim's storied sonic history into the modern age, perfect for both stage and studio work.
