The Oberheim TEO-5 is a powerful, modern take on the classic Oberheim sound. Use it to control Omnisphere’s four patch layers, modulation matrix, state variable filter, and several effects. Additionally, the TEO-5 sports a 64-step polyphonic sequencer and a multimode arpeggiator, along with a premium Fatar keybed, all in a smaller, more affordable package than the OB-X8.

Oberheim TEO Strengths:

  • Classic Oberheim Sound
