Oberheim TEO-5 - Unboxing and Preset Playthrough
Just got a brand new Oberheim TEO-5 in and thought I'd do another unboxing and preset playthrough video. I know these types of videos are very helpful in making purchase decisions so hopefully it'll help some of you!
My thoughts: This thing sounds huge, raw and organic! You can modulate yourself into oblivion if you want, sequencer is very powerful and the raw tone speaks for itself. I highly recommend!
**Side note - EVERYTHING you hear in this video is the raw tone from the synth. No external effects or plugins were used**

Splatterhouse 2 - Foul River Music Cover
Просмотров 119Месяц назад
Here's my cover of Milky Eiko's Foul River track from one of my favorite horror games of all time; Splatterhouse 2. I had a lot of fun with this one and tried to stay pretty close to the original but also took a few liberties to keep things fresh. There are no sounds used from the original theme here(aside from the mask laugh at the beginning). This is a completely new rendition. Hope you enjoy...

How to get Better Mixes (Mixing Ad Parody)
Did you get it from Sweetwater? I ordered mine June 1st and am still waiting 😢
Just stumbled upon your vid. What a riff-a-palooza. This is one of my favorite megadeath songs and definitely an underrated heavy and deep cut! You do it justice!
@@TheFinerPrint I completely agree! This song doesn’t get enough love. Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it🙏
Thanks for adding to the GAS!! 🔥
@@BluFox85 Anytime, glad I could help!😂
New synths are like sex with a condom, older vintage synths are like sex when going in bare.
Great video! Still waiting on my preorder. Might need to return my GS e7 before the return window runs out though because I don't think I can justify keeping both.
Thank you! Seems like they’ll be shipping around mid September from what I know. I don’t know much about the GS E7 but it looks great as well. Were you just planning on trying them both and keeping your favorite?
@@riffsthatrule Pretty much. I think I'll probably end up with a p5 in the end though.
@@poorhorserecords I can’t recommend the P5 enough! It’s incredible. It doesn’t have tons of modulation options but that’s what other synths are for. The raw tone of the P5 is unmatched🤤
No double shipping Box?
There might’ve been but this was actually one that someone returned to the store I teach at a couple hours after they got it. I decided to snag it ‘cause my other option was to wait ‘til mid September to get another one
Yeah definitely sounds like an obie. Wish the button layout was exactly like those of the bigger brothers. Cutoff knob at the low center is...odd. The space for the Tap Tempo button disturbs the visual and placement of the surrounding knobs. The big brothers on the other hand have a properly organized and aesthetically pleasing layout. Sound is great but design could have been better.
I hear you. If you have any of the big, bad boys it makes sense that you would be comfortable with and prefer their layouts. I have not jammed on or owned any of them so I have no issues with the layout. Does sound great though for sure!
I was watching this particular video at the same time that I had my DVD of Moana playing in the background. Strictly per chance, there were moments when I thought your demo of this synthesizer was part of the filmscore.
@@Shred_The_Weapon Haha! That’s awesome-happy to accidentally score Moana.😉 As a film/TV composer, I’m all about those unexpected musical mashups!
Likewise, @@riffsthatrule, even though I have yet to do any such projects of my own.
Nice! That’s sweet. Keep at it and you’ll get there
This may well replace my WaveState- this thing sounds fantastic!
@@zadtheinhaler Totally! This is bang for buck one of the best synths on the market right now. Especially if you love that SEM filter
Great demo! I didn't see this anywhere, but was wondering if it had MPE support like in the new Oberheim OB-X8 2.0 firmware release?
That’s much appreciated, thank you!🙏 I didn’t see anything about it in the manual so I’m guessing it doesn’t but I could be wrong about that.
No! Don't give me a video like this, my wallet hates me!
@@user-sz6qt4ig9e Hahaha sorry, I had to! I can say it’s a steal of a deal for the price if that helps at all
Nightmare on elm street was too much for me. Got me tripping haha. Now I'll just sit here with my Cobalt 5s and dream of the Teo which sounds amazing.
@@KyleCachora Haha I had to! That patch had a similar vibe. Watch out for Freddy in your dreams😝🔪🩸
This sounds so good… can’t wait to listen to what you’re gonna cook with it 🥓🍳🔥
@@carpenter.recordings Thanks Jay!! You rule🙏🤘 I’ll definitely send you some tracks soon
i just launch my play 1 no ? ho sorry it's the TOE-5 😍😍
@@6663355 I haven’t tried the TOE-5 yet. Is it sweet?🦶😂
Lovely little synth! I love how the highs sizzle! I t may be the most sizzly synth out there :) Nice tone, too! After acquiring Muse I've ran both out of space and funds, so well.. I suppose I'll have to work with what I've got ;)
@@payt01 Thank you! Yeah, that bright SEM filter is magical🪄 haha for sure! The Muse isn’t cheap. From what I’ve seen/heard, it sounds incredible though. How do you like it?
Can't wait to sync this up with my Take 5!
@@waddy707 That’s gonna be an awesome combo! Did you order one already?
@@riffsthatrule They haven’t even arrived in NZ yet! So waiting to demo one, but from what I’ve seen here it’s a no brainer.
@@waddy707 Ah, I got you. 💯 What you get for the price is incredible really. Plus, you’ll be comfortable with the layout since you have the Take 5!
This synth sounds AMAZING!!!
@@kvmoore1 Totally agree! Combined with all the mod options, SEM filter and great sequencer, it’s a steal for the price!
@@riffsthatrule ABSOLUTELY!
I want one too! Nice demo!!!
Haha you should get one! I bet you’d love jammin’ on it. Thanks Nonage!!
Its got the sizzle
@@AbsurdTV1 For sure! That SEM filter is magical 🪄
Sounds a bit to digital ,definetly a hybrid sound instead of pure analog , but sounds nice in it's own right.
@@cnfuzz The only thing that’s digital is the FX. Otherwise it’s VCOs and VCF
Very nice synth. I may get one :)
It sounds fantastic! If you want or need a tasty SEM filter at a very reasonable price, I’d highly recommend it🙂
@@riffsthatrule thanks for the recommendation! I have the OB-X8 at the top of my wishlist. Then E7 by GS Music and TEO-5 are the next ones in the list. :) I think I will get them all, but the OB-X8 is too expensive, that’s why I need to save money for this first.
@Donetur For sure! The OB-X8 looks incredible but if you get that and the TEO-5 that would be quite a bit of overlap. May want to just get one or the other unless you just love the Oberheim sound. The modulation possibilities on the TEO-5 are pretty awesome though. I don’t think I know the E7
@@riffsthatrule the OB-X8 seems to sound more massive and vintage than TEO-5 and that’s exactly what I love about it. TEO-5 sounds a little bit more modern?, but it also can sound vintage, not sure what are the possibilities of this machine, I always try not to get an impression from the presets only as the sound may depend on what the sound designer intended only. I am waiting for the demos tweaking knobs and so on, users will start to receive the unit in the next months, so I expect more videos to analyze :). I may need to put my hands on the OB-X8 first before taking that decision. Probably you are right and they will overlap too much for my taste, that’s a possibility I considered, if that’s the case it has no sense to get TEO-5. E7 on the other hand has a unique vintage sound which I love. I also love how Code 8 sounds by Studio Electronics, but this is too expensive for a rack synth, it cost even more than OB-X8, I wouldn’t pay that amount of money if I am not rich.
@Donetur I totally hear you! The raw tone of the OB-X8 is incredible. I got the Prophet 5 for that very same reason. My favorite synth of all time and I had to have it. As far as I know, the TEO-5 does have waaay more modulation options if that’s something you care about! 19 sources and 54 destinations😮. That was one of the many reasons I chose the TEO-5 since the Prophet 5 doesn’t have nearly as many mod options. Just to fill that gap you know. But yeah, if you don’t care about having tons of mod options and can afford the OB-X8, it sounds like that’s the one for you
That thing was packed by a 5th grader. Sounds sick.
Haha yeah! It was actually an open box that got returned a few hours after the customer picked it up. I decided to give it a try ‘cause otherwise I would’ve had to wait ‘til mid September😑
Is that a Liquid standard it’s sitting on?
@@EchoKraft No, it’s just an on stage with the added two tier. I should get a liquid at some point though. Those seem super solid
@@riffsthatrule yeah man that’s what I have my Hydra and my OSMOSE sitting on. It’s a solid stand and I like the way the top tier sits back. That’s why I thought that was what you had because it sits back from the Phophet that you have.
That’s sweet! Yeah, it’s annoying when the second tier sticks out too far and covers whatever you have beneath. I think I just lucked out with the on stage but I’ll definitely look into the liquid a bit more
@@riffsthatrule I have, I believe that same stand by on stage. That what my DeepMind12 and my MatrixBrute Sits on. Another great stand!
Nice! It’s pretty solid for what it is. I’m curious about the DM12. Had one in at the store I teach at for a bit but I never got to jam on it. Your videos I’ve seen on it sound awesome though
Great video!
@@EchoKraft Thanks Echo!🙌
Damn that ''Divebomb'' preset sounds for +-95% just as awesome as on the OBX8. Did not expect that! Also very nice demo and playing mate 👌👍
@@danthreepwood2760 That’s definitely good to know! I’ve not played an OB-X8 but would love to at some point. Do you have one? Thanks a ton! I really appreciate that🙏🙌
@@riffsthatrule Yup I do. And I'm very lucky and humbled to own one. But nevertheless the TEO comes really close and has lot's of other stuff going on. For that price range it's a killer synth. Uncomparable to the UbXa.
That’s awesome to know coming from an OB-X8 owner! So cool you have one! That’s how I feel about my Prophet 5. Just seeing it in my studio every morning feels kinda surreal haha.
@@danthreepwood2760 The UbXa just doesn't have that sweet sweet sound. Why buy generic brand when you can have Grade-A 100%?
@aopaul Totally agree in this case! Price is very reasonable for what you get
Where is the silica...? 😂
@@s.f.b.s You know what’s funny, when I was unboxing it, I saw the packet and thought about it for a second😂 it almost happened lol
Wobbly table FTW, check it lol

Brilliant Synth, sounds legit.
For sure! I’m loving it so far. The raw tone is amazing and so many mod options
@@riffsthatrule Great to hear the mod options are plenty
@@eTERNIAN69 There are 19 mod sources and 54 destinations😮
@@riffsthatrule Beastly
Great video - Sounds really good. Massive at times. Really Great synth! Nice addition for the P5 and studio!
Thanks man! Yeah, it can definitely get pretty beefy 🥩 super excited to keep exploring it and it definitely pairs well with the P5
This is amazing
Thanks man! What are you thinkin’, time to pick one up?
Bro. 📺📺📺woah !!!
Thank you!🙏
Hi there!I’m fairly new at REAPER.What i noticed is that when i run the workstation it has no sound at all and this has been happening the last few times when i run REAPER. Everything was fine before that.I’ve watched some videos but unfortunately none of them helped me.I have no audio interface. If you know something about my situation i’ll be glad if you share it with me.Thanks in advance!✨
@@teodorstoychev20035 Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with running things without an interface so I don’t really have any tips for you there. That is weird though that you did have things working but now they’re not…
Do you use it without a keyboard? Just asking because I’m a noob and it seems every Behringer synth like Model D and Model 15 is used with an external keyboard in demo videos. I just want to twiddle knobs, not (necessarily) play the keys.
I totally hear you! I tend to do both. In this particular case I played the sequence in and then just looped the midi so I could be free to tweak
@@riffsthatrule cool, thanks! But I take it there is at least one knob that’s a «dry signal» or whatever, right? I suppose that’s what an oscillator does? I believe the answer to this question is so obvious that I really have to ask someone, lol.. I just don’t want to buy a machine like this and then realise it doesn’t even make a sound on its own.
You definitely can do certain ambient sounds/sfx via the patch bay without midi. Or you can get it self oscillating too without midi but your sonic options will be pretty limited as far as I know
@@riffsthatrule Okay, cool! It's not that I don't want to get one of them MIDI keyboards to go along with it sooner or later (or coupling it with a DAW), but imagine opening the box and not having the gear to make a single sound, ya know? Haha. I'll have to build the gear park quite gradually. Thanks for humoring a proper newb, appreciate it.
@Vingul Haha for sure! You’ll definitely be able to make some noise with it straight out of the box with no midi but you will be pretty limited until you get some midi rockin’. Don’t need a keyboard for midi either. You can do that within a daw. Keyboard just makes it a lot faster and more fun
Came for the shirt - stayed for the education. Thanks, mate. :D
Haha awesome! One of the best games of all time. Thank YOU and hope you got something out of it!
@@riffsthatrule Yeah, I just recently started my journey into the synthesizer world and this will come in handy when I decide to actually record songs. I'll try it soon! Thanks. Love your style, too. It's honest, cool, metal and just no BS. Just straight forward explanation. You rock.
@@StrilliVanilliDrums Welcome to the synth community! You’ll love it. Just try not to get addicted to collecting them haha. Thanks a ton! That means a lot🙏
@@riffsthatrule Haha, thanks! ^^ I hope I won't I started with a few old Casios just for the nostalgic feel but now I got my Microfreak and that'll keep me on my toes for quite some time I presume until I figured everything out... ^^ I never answered about Resident Evil 2 though: Hell yes, I also think it's one of the best games ever made. :D
@StrilliVanilliDrums Haha for sure! I’ve heard a lot of people like the “Freak” series. I haven’t tried them though. That’s the best way to go though. Learn what you have inside out before getting new ones. I’m a bit guilty of that😂. Oh man, totally! Those first 3 Resident Evil games for PS1 are in my top favorite games of all time! Same the the first 3 Silent Hill games as well
It’s because it’s Behringer. When will you people ever learn…. They no longer have a repair center in Sumner, Washington. A friend of mine who used to manage it told me at one point that their policy was for clients with a defective gear to send them a picture of the defective gear in the garbage can and they would send them a new one. That was their repair policy. How cheaply made does the stuff have to be for it to be a better business decision for them to just send you a new one versus fixing an old one? Think about that for a minute. Buy cheap you get cheap.
@@nicefish10 There’s nothing wrong with mine. Was just a cheeky way of saying it sounds angry (in a good way). Thanks for watchin’
When the neutron works properly, I freaking love it. But I'm always second guessing whether or not my unit is defective.
I hear you. Is yours doing more than just the typical analog synth wildness?

How do you learn stuff like this and get better at guitar, I'm a beginner guitarist and want to get better and don't know where to start, all the beginner lessons are too easy and so the intermediate are too hard:/
Honestly, not to go all sales pitchey on you but some lessons with a proper teacher would do you wonders as far as pointing you in the right direction for what and how to practice. I do offer in person and online lessons if you’re interested. My contact info is in my about section if you’d like to learn more🤘
@riffsthatrule I have thought about getting a teacher but I don't have the money for that, thanks for the idea though!
@octrain6648 Of course! Some online courses are great too. I’d highly recommend Tom Quayle’s website
Love scalloped frets
Same! They’ve really grown on me and feel great
Wow I've never seen a gouged fretboard like that before
Yeah I'm used to seeing every fret scooped, this is only the high end like how some banjos only have frets higher up. Interesting.
I’m not sure why they chose to do it that way but it’s pretty cool. Love this guitar! They’re scalloped from the 17th fret up
I like it i wish we can have an extended song of the soundtrack it would be interesting!!
Thank you! I may have to do that in the future but more horror covers are definitely coming soon!
Hi, thank you for your very useful videos. I've watched this and your other suggested video about hooking up external keyboards to Reaper but being someone who stopped making any electronic music back in the 90s, I'm still a bit stuck so I hope you wouldn't mind giving me a bit more advice. I have a Yamaha PF85 which I use as a controller and a Roland SoundCanvas as my sound source. I only have a Roland UM-One USB MIDI interface with one in and one out. How can I have Reaper record my MIDI information, i.e. what I play on the keyboard but play back my chosen sounds from the sound module. I would be very grateful for your advice. Cheers.
Of course! I’m glad you’ve found them helpful. If you’ve followed both of the videos that should honestly get you up and running. As long as you’re using usb midi like you said and follow all the steps in both. I set up my synth modules just like how you described, to a master keyboard. As long as your PF85 is usb midi it should be plug and play. Then you would connect your module(s) via 5 pin midi to your PF85 more than likely. If you have a bunch of different modules hooked up then you just select a different midi channel for each one instead of “all channels” like I choose in the videos. Hope this helps!
@@riffsthatrule Thank you for your very prompt response. I'll watch your videos again and will have another go. Hopefully I'll get there in the end. Many thanks again.
@lazmusic1 Of course! Let me know if you are still having issues and I’ll do my best to help you get it figured out
@@riffsthatrule Just an update regarding my initial enquiry (anybody who hasn't got anything better to do with their lives can check it out above - it's really basic), I eventually managed to hook up my gear, by connecting the Out of the MIDI-to-USB adaptor to the out of my controller keyboard and the In of the convertor to my external sound source. This makes sense as you send your messages, i.e. what you play to the DAW and to listen back to your masterpiece, with the sound of your choice, you receive the MIDI messages back from the computer. Great, it works. However, I still have a problem. What you record in this way is just MIDI information and not actual sounds. In your video you create three tracks, on one of which you record the MIDI information and on the other you kind of bounce the MIDI track as audio; and I don't understand what the first track is used for. Would you be so kind to explain the routing of the signals from the MIDI to the audio track? Many thanks indeed. 😊
Glad to hear you’re making progress! As far as the routing goes, that’s all covered in the video but the third track at the top of the group just acts as a folder to group the tracks together to keep things nice and organized. If you’re recording lots of layers, things can get messy real quick so I find using folders really helps.
Whats with the highest frets having that concave shape? I've never seen that!!! Nice work BTW
@@billhicks9056 They’re called scalloped frets and they allow a bit more flexibility with bends and vibrato mostly. They do require a lighter touch though ‘cause you can easily send notes out of tune if you press too hard. Thank you! Much appreciated🙏
They all sound the coolest
@@GuitaringGuitarist Thank you! What if you had to pick one though?
Maj into dominant gives that Fina fantasy feel. I gotta remember that.
That’s a great way to categorize the sounds/progressions you dig!
Layman here, what’s the benefit of having those deeper fret spaces?🤔is it for bending notes or something? Kinda like a mini whammy bar? Someone let me know please
It’s mostly for having more control over bends/vibrato but also requires a lighter touch too. Not a huge difference really but it looks cool haha
Andy Gillion - Becoming The Dream
Never heard of him. I’ll give it a listen
Never liked it.
Thanks for watching
When you do this solo stuff over a chord progression, do you just switch to the respective chord (its tonic)? What if, for ex., the minor 3rd in the minmaj7 arpeggio conflicts woth whatevrr chord is being played? You just omit that shape and use something else right? Do you remember every shape or just learn the intervals and their respective location on the board while also learning what notes are able to be played over each chord? How then do people improvise over changes while still sounding in key?
In this particular example, I’m only playing chord tones so every note is a perfect match for each respective chord. Start with chord tones only over each chord and slowly start adding extensions when you feel ready. I started as a heavily shape based player but over the many years I’ve gravitated towards interval based playing. It’s much more useful for writing and improvising. As far as improvising over changes, there are many different approaches: key center approach (all chords belong to the same key/use one scale), treat each chord as it’s own key (this takes much more fretboard knowledge but is well worth it as it leads to tastier choices), etc…

Great choice!🤘
