Oberheim TEO-5 Synthesizer

Oberheim har lansert en fantastisk ny analog polyfonisk synthesizer! Du kan forhåndsbestille den nå hos oss eller en av våre forhandlere. Estimert levering er August.

Oberheim har siden 1970-tallet og vært blant ypperste merkene innen analoge synthesizere. Disse synthesizerne er kjent for sin varme, rike lyd, unike SEM-filtre og er en stor del av lydsignaturen i tidløse låter fra kjente artister og produsenter de siste 50 årene.

Nå kommer synth pioneren Thomas Elroy Oberheim med et fantastisk nytt instrument, TEO-5, som med mer enn initialene hans markerer en kulminasjon av hans synth-visjon. TEO-5 kan sammenliknes med OB-X, Four Voice og TVS, men har mye nytt som for eksempel moderniserte oscillatorer med «analog thru-zero FM som utvider lydspekteret med teksturer som man aldri har hørt i et Oberheim instrument til nå.

Med TEO-5 får du Overheim-varmen, trøkk og brøl til særdeles hyggelig pris.

Vi venter vår første store leveranse av Oberheim TEO-5 i august og du kan forhåndsbestille den nå!

Thomas Elroy Oberheim. TEO. More than his initials, they mark the culmination of a synth pioneer's vision. TEO-5 is a modern instrument, crafted with classic analog soul, yet sleek and powerful for today's sonic journeys.

Make the Oberheim Legacy a Part of Your Own When You Step Up to the Oberheim TEO-5!

As proof of the ongoing resurgence of the Oberheim sound in the 21st Century, the company that helped fuel the original electronic music revolution has debuted the Oberheim TEO Analog Synthesizer—now available at Chicago Synth Exchange!Named after the company’s founder and analog synth mastermind, Thomas Elroy Oberheim, the synth’s name represents more than his initials—it marks the culmination of a synth pioneer's vision!

Step Into Oberheim’s Ultimate Sonic Sandbox!

Designed to distill the spirit of the now-legendary OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS into the sonic essence of the Oberheim sound, the TEO-5 unleashes the breadth and depth of Tom Oberheim’s timeless tonal palette, all from a compact, modern analog synthesizer. Crafted with classic analog soul, yet sleek, and powerful enough for today's sonic journeys, this five-voice VCO/VCF-based polysynth has simultaneously selectable waveshapes for each oscillator (triangle, saw, variable pulse), plus a dedicated front-panel X-Mod control for through-zero FM.

With its analog through-zero FM, the TEO-5’s updated oscillators roar, offering a sound that’s organic and raw, while granting users access to sonic textures they’ve never heard before—which can be sculpted using the TEO-5’s classic SEM filter with selectable Band-Pass mode, plus a State knob that enables continuous morphing from Low-Pass through Notch to High-Pass.

Equipped with dual digital effects, including chorus, delay, and reverb, as well as spot-on OB-8 envelope emulations, TEO-5 also lets users dial in emulations of Tom's legendary Phase Shifter and Ring Modulator, delivering swirling textures and metallic resonances that harken back to the golden age of synthesis.

Plus, with its 64-step polyphonic sequencer, the TEO-5 can spark almost infinite melodic possibilities, while its multimode arpeggiator keeps rhythms pulsing and pounding.
