The Oberheim legacy in a compact format
The TEO-5 desktop module brings the legendary sound of the TEO-5 keyboard into a smaller, more portable format — with no compromise in sound quality. Designed for demanding musicians and mobile producers, this module delivers Oberheim’s iconic analog tone with modern flexibility: powerful oscillators, SEM-style multimode filter, built-in effects, and a full modulation matrix. A compact body with a massive sound.
A modern instrument rooted in tradition
Behind the name TEO is Thomas Elroy Oberheim — a true pioneer of analog synthesis. The TEO-5 module embodies his vision: an expressive, accessible, and musical synthesizer. It distills the essence of the OB-X, Four Voice, and TVS into a user-friendly format ideal for sonic exploration in the studio or on stage.
