Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop Module

Description

<p data-end="1061" data-start="317" style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop Module</strong> combines the sound legacy of the historic brand with the efficiency of a compact studio module weighing only 3.08 kg and with a footprint of just 53.3 × 17.8 × 8.9 cm. This desktop version retains the same analog oscillators and the unmistakable multimode SEM filter already present in the keyboard version, along with a rich array of digital effects, linear and through-zero FM, and an advanced modulation matrix. All <strong>TEO-5</strong> functionalities are directly accessible from the top panel, allowing for immediate, direct, and intuitive synthesis. Perfect for studios with limited space or live sets, the <strong>TEO-5 Desktop</strong> combines analog power and practicality.</p><h2 data-end="1110" data-start="1068" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Legendary synthesis for everyone, in a portable format</strong></h2><p data-end="1649" data-start="1112" style="text-align: justify;">The <strong>TEO-5 Desktop</strong> is a 5-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer with two VCOs plus a sub-oscillator per voice, an <strong>SEM filter</strong> with continuous morphing from low-pass to high-pass, flexible modulations, FM, and a comprehensive effects section including reverb, overdrive, and multi-FX with vintage emulations. The knob-laden front panel ensures total and immediate control over every parameter. MIDI, USB, pedalboard connectivity, and universal power supply make it an extremely versatile instrument, perfect for any modern setup.</p><h3 data-end="1705" data-start="1656" style="text-align:
