Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop Modul
Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop
The Oberheim legacy in compact form
With the TEO-5, Thomas Elroy Oberheim – the man who has shaped the synth world for decades – has created an instrument that unites analogue soul and modern technology in a single unit. A perfect symbiosis of past and future, of experience and innovation. What began with the acclaimed TEO-5-Keyboard is now also available as a compact desktop version – without keys, but with the full Oberheim sound.
The Oberheim sound
Now in a compact format for studio freaks
The TEO-5 desktop module delivers the real Oberheim vibe – including analogue oscillators and the legendary SEM™ multimode filter. The sounds that shaped pop, funk, synthwave and electronic music are now more compact than ever – perfect for your rack, your DAW environment or your live rig.
The desktop module is made for anyone who doesn't just want to click through presets!
Thanks to an intuitive control panel with real knobs, sound design isn't fiddly: modulations, tuneable FM, modern effects and analogue warmth let you dive in straight away. Tinker, tweak and turn – the signature sound is at your fingertips.
The new TEO-5 desktop module is made for everyone who doesn't just want to click through presets but wants to shape, layer and perform sounds – whether in the studio or live. It brings the full analogue signal path and synthesis power of the TEO-5-Keyboard into a space-saving format. For beatmakers, sound designers, modular enthusiasts and creative minds this module is more than just a synth – it's a tool, a statement, a piece of history.
Creative. Inspiring. Portable.
Despite its compact size, the TEO-5 desktop module delivers the same power as the acclaimed TEO-5-Keyboard – including all presets and sonic possibilities. Ideal for producers with limited space but unlimited appetite for sound.
„The term ‚module‘ has evolved since my first SEM in 1974“, says synth legend Tom Oberheim. „But the idea has remained the same: big sounds in a small format. The TEO-5-Keyboard is already a success – but I believe the desktop version will excite even more people.“
