This is the compact desktop version of the TEO-5 keyboard synthesiser. Apart from the keyboard, the two handwheels and the form factor, the two models are identical. Only the LFOs have been moved a little closer together but are still fully present. The five-voice instrument understands velocity and channel aftertouch and has a complete MIDI implementation. A nice detail is the vintage control, which shifts the accurate and precise circuits (oscillator drift, filter, envelope behaviour...) towards the component-related inaccuracies of old synthesisers. In this way, the best possible vintage sound is achieved. Since the TEO-5 Desktop has all sound-relevant parameters on the control panel, it is easy to operate after a short familiarisation period. The easy-to-follow menu only needs to be used for a few actions. Proven Oberheim components in a new guise Two analog oscillators with the waveforms triangle, sawtooth and square with PWM form the basic framework from which the TEO 5 Desktop creates its sounds. Hardsync can be switched between the two tone generators and cross-modulation (Thru-Zero FM) can be controlled from VCO 2 to 1. In the mixer, the sound generation is supplemented by a sub-oscillator with a square waveform that follows the pitch of oscillator 1 and a noise generator. In the tradition of old or poly synths, the signal sources can be switched on and fine-tuned via the menu. The beautiful basic sound is processed with one of the most popular filters since synthesizers were invented: the SEM filter, also known as the 12db state variable filter. In addition to the creamy sound, this filter is characterized by the ability to fade continuously from lowpass to notch to highpass characteristics or to work with the switchable Bandpass . Some intermediate stages around the notch position are simply a dream and come across particularly organically. Modulations for lively sounds At first glance, the two LFOs appear to be identical, but they have different ranges of action. The global LFO can be applied to the entire Patch , the voice LFO is...
