Oberheim TEO-5 Analog Polysynth

The Oberheim TEO-5 marks the return of Tom Oberheim’s design philosophy – a modern analog polysynth that distills the essence of the OB-X, Four-Voice and TVS into a forward-thinking performance instrument. With five true VCO voices, through-zero FM, the iconic SEM filter and deep modulation, TEO-5 delivers both vintage warmth and cutting-edge sound design.

Enhanced analog oscillators

Two VCOs per voice plus a suboscillator provide triangle, saw and variable pulse waves. The updated oscillators introduce true through-zero FM for entirely new timbral possibilities not previously heard in an Oberheim synthesizer.

Signature SEM filter

The classic Oberheim SEM state-variable filter morphs seamlessly from low-pass to high-pass through notch, with an additional band-pass mode. Its musical resonance and signature sound have shaped countless productions over five decades.

Flexible modulation matrix

With 19 routes, 19 sources and 64 destinations, the modulation matrix supports audio-rate modulation, poly/mono LFOs with sync, OB-inspired envelopes and extensive performance control.

Multi-effects, arpeggiator & sequencer

A dual digital effects engine offers chorus, delay and reverb, plus models of Tom Oberheim’s legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator. The 64-step polyphonic sequencer and multimode arpeggiator make TEO-5 a complete creative workstation.
