Tom oberheim TEO-5 MODULE
Creativity in a Compact Format: Reinvent Your Studio with the TEO-5 Desktop
The TEO-5 Desktop Module is a powerhouse for musicians and producers seeking the iconic Oberheim sound in a compact format. This new addition to the Oberheim synthesizer line features the same sounds and synthesis functions as the renowned TEO-5 keyboard.
The TEO-5 features true analog oscillators and the legendary SEM™ multi-mode filter, allowing users to recreate classic Oberheim sounds that have influenced music for decades. With numerous modulation options, including linear FM, Through-Zero, and modern effects, the TEO-5 Desktop Module opens up new sonic horizons to explore.
The intuitive knob-and-tap experience of its keyboard counterpart is replicated in the TEO-5 Desktop Module. All synthesis functions remain easily accessible on the front panel, allowing users to easily modify their sound in real time. This practical approach ensures that musicians can quickly achieve the perfect Oberheim sound for their music.
Ideal for synthesizers with limited studio space, the TEO-5 Desktop Module offers all the exceptional presets and synthesis controls of the keyboard version in half the size. This compact design allows the TEO-5 Desktop Module to fit seamlessly into any creative work environment, making it a versatile addition to any setup.
