For over 50 years, the instruments and machines painstakingly crafted and innovated by Tom Oberheim and his cohorts have shaped the sonic landscape of music, spanning the chart-topping to the avant-garde. TEO-5 encapsulates Oberheim’s multifaceted legacy, fulfilling a vision for a powerful, flexible synthesizer that packages time-tested tools with cutting-edge, contemporary character into a powerful, portable design. This 5-voice polyphonic synth captures the ethos of renowned Oberheim instruments like the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS, refined and reimagined for the contemporary musician looking to pair vintage-derived analog character with envelope-pushing modern malleability. At its convenient size, synthesists at Sweetwater are enamored by the scope of TEO-5 desktop synthesizer, from hallmark Oberheim effects and flexible ADSSR envelopes to its multitudes of modulation and scorching thru-zero FM sonics. Outfitted with a polyphonic step-sequencer, multimode arpeggiator, and robust connectivity options, this dual analog-VCO powerhouse is nothing short of an electrifying Oberheim renaissance.
