Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

TEO-5 puts a five-voice analog Oberheim desktop synth at the center of a compact production setup. Its two VCOs per voice, sub oscillator, continuously sweepable SEM filter, and through-zero FM give sound design plenty of range. Dedicated panel controls support immediate adjustment, while Manual mode follows the current front-panel settings. A 19-slot modulation matrix, 64-step polyphonic sequencer, effects, USB MIDI, DIN MIDI, and stereo audio connections cover hands-on studio routing and performance-oriented programming.
