The new TEO-5 OS Update introduces a significant set of improvements that make this compact synth even more inspiring to use. The biggest addition is Poly Chain a powerful feature that lets players link two Take 5 units to create a fully integrated 10 voice instrument. This greatly expands creative potential and also gives musicians a strong incentive to add a second keyboard or incorporate the desktop version into their setup. The update also adds 10 new arpeggiator patterns including creative modes such as Spiral and Leapfrog which bring fresh movement and musical variation to any performance. A new timing option called Whiplash adjusts note values in real time based on how many keys are being held giving players a more expressive and dynamic feel during live sessions. Sound designers also gain access to violet noise opening the door to new textures for pads effects and atmospheric layers. Factory Bank 2 – now available for download Sequential has also released Factory Bank 2 a brand new collection of contemporary sounds created by respected designers Abby Echiverri Peter Dyer Glasys Nicholas Semrad and Calc. This bank adds even more modern flavour to the instrument. Unparalleled analog richness At the heart of the TEO-5 lies its pure analog signal path featuring genuine VCOs and VCFs that capture the quintessential Oberheim warmth and power. Each voice boasts selectable waveshapes – triangle sawtooth and variable pulse – providing a rich palette for creating unique sound textures. Coupled with analog through-zero FM synthesis the TEO-5 allows for the creation of new sonic textures previously unachievable in older Oberheim models. Sculpt your sound with the Legendary SEM Filter The classic SEM filter in the TEO-5 is a central feature enabling artists to shape their sounds with precision. This versatile filter transitions seamlessly from low-pass to high-pass with a notch filter setting in between controlled by a simple state knob.
