The TEO-5 Module condenses the spirit of the TEO-5 into a desktop format, designed for modern studio setups, minimalist live rigs, and mobile producers. It features the signature "OB" sound: immediate analog presence, rich timbres, and musicality that encourages playing rather than programming.
Behind the acronym TEO is a nod to Thomas Elroy Oberheim and a lineage of instruments that have become benchmarks. The result: a polyphonic synthesizer accessible in ergonomics, yet deep enough to go far in sound design.
This module is aimed at experienced musicians as well as creators seeking their first "big" analog poly, thanks to a clear interface and immediate physical controls. It excels in synthwave, pop, techno, ambient, and film scoring: lively pads, thick basses, expressive leads, and punchy chords.
In live performance, unison (up to 5 voices), polyphonic glide, and fine modulation control help transition smoothly between sounds without losing playing energy. In the studio, Poly Chain opens the door to denser arrangements while maintaining total sonic coherence.
The engine is based on an analog VCO/VCF architecture: 2 analog VCOs and 1 sub-oscillator per voice, with cumulative waveforms (triangle, sawtooth, PWM pulse), oscillator sync, and through-zero FM for more biting or metallic textures. The SEM multimode filter offers continuous sweep from low-pass to notch to high-pass, plus a dedicated band-pass mode, ideal for sculpting "airy" pads or percussive sequences.
On the modulation side, the TEO-5 Module combines 5-stage loopable envelopes, syncable LFOs, and a powerful matrix (19 sources, 64 destinations, 19 slots). The "Vintage" potentiometer adds subtle variations to recapture a more organic analog instability. Finally, the latest update brings a simple Poly Chain via MIDI, 10 new arpeggiator patterns (including "Spiral" and "Leapfrog"), a "Whiplash" timing feature that adapts rhythm to real-time playing, as well as violet noise to enrich textures and creative noise layers.
