Tom Oberheim teaming up with Dave Smith was the best thing happening to synths lately. This is practically a contemporary Oberheim packed into Take 5 hardware.
So awesome. So much love for Tom Oberheim, Dave Smith and Marcus. I am so happy that Tom and Dave got together before Dave passed away. Tom and Dave were giants in the synth industry and two really good guys from all accounts. It is pure joy watching Tom play his new synth.
when Claudio plays the synthesizer, the thing comes to life. I mean for real. Thank you kindly, sir, for the energy that you put into your videos for us. And I bow to Tom, this is truly an amazing piece of gear 🙏🏻
What a beautiful meeting..with a new synth..the excitement of you playing it the first time..and of course..the love of this well aged man..a conqueror of the idea creating a world filled with synthetic gear to offer it the world!!! Wooow...god bless mr.Oberheim and this video!!
mind blowing synth. really nothing beats this. tzfm on an analog poly itself is wild, but the beautiful svf, the crazy mod matrix, the effects. just insane
What a fantastic channel you have ! I remember on an early Ober cutting a commercial track in a studio in the 80s. They hadn’t used one much and they wanted “the big bottom end.” The engineer wasn’t ready for it. I believe they replaced the studio’s woofers. 😂 I used to cut a lot of commercials, that was the only destruction I recall 🤣
Damn! I own, and have owned my OB-Xa since the mid 80's and absolutely LOVE it. I have always said when looking at new keyboards of today, oh let's see if they have any Oberheim stuff on here, and sure enough, there is at least some Oberheim type sounds on most new boards. Then what do I say? Well, I own an actual OB-Xa. Why would I want something that reproduces that? Well, here ya go. Now I want this too! It's smaller in size, way smaller, and sounds just as big. I gotta check one out for myself. Maybe this will be for my carry around/travel version. Thanks Doc. Yet another great video from you.
Mr. Tom Oberheim in the house? O.M.G. I can't believe it! One of the greatest masterminds, who created the best synths in the world. Damn, you lucky guy! And what an amazing music instrument. Think, I have to order it.
Aaaand... this synth goes right to the top of my wish list! It has some really innovative design features that make me go, wow, why didn't someone think of this before, but, Oberheim is a genius.
Great review as always! I'm getting one for sure. I was listening to the beauty shots part and my wife turned on "Little House on the Prairie". That beginning horn on the show fit in with the drum and bass groove!
Had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Oberheim speak at Knobcon a few years back...his love and enthusiasm for creating synthesizers for musicians is inspirational. Wonderful man and this instrument sounds superb. Great demo! I need this one...
Claudio! Thank you so much sharing this video and giving us a front row seat to Mr. Oberheim. Your video was so inspiring that I immediately ordered one! Now have to wait until some time in July to get it Again, thank you for all you do in the world of music!
This is great. I can see these selling like hotcakes not just to professionals who want something fairly portable but a 16 year old with some motivation and a Summer job could (fairly) easily afford this and have a rewarding experience . And to think I never understood why my parents wouldn’t buy me a Prophet 5 in 1978 😂.
I must admit I love getting my hands on a good sturdy knob, I don't like the loose one's because they don't stay where they are once you let go of them.
Nice piece of gear....I just found out that many of those effects are guitar effects pedals....that you can connect most synthesizers to to get those effects as well. For those who dont already have a guitar and effects pedals, it will save you some money buying the effects pedals.
I keep coming back to this video because I have one on order!!!! I'm an Oberhiem Enthisiast with an OBX8, OB-6, Matrix 6 and and Matrix 1000 with a Steroping Matrix Programmer and PolyChainer to stack the 2 Matrixes together for a "custom" programmable 12 voice Oberheim!!! I even own overlapping Oberheim VSTs from Arturia and GForce (and the newest addition the OB-1).... "Some Things Are Better Than Others"
Oberheim synths are my favorites! There's literally nothing that sounds that good in this world. The fact you met Tom Oberheim himself, is really cool aswell!
I am absolutely blown away by how good the OB-X8 sounds, yet not impressed at all about how the less expensive OB-6 sounds. I was hoping the TEO-5 would sound much better (to my ears) than the OB-6 and much closer to the sound of the OB-X8. After watching this video and hearing sounds from the TEO-5 for the first time, especially the ones demonstrated by Tom himself, I have to say I'm very impressed with how it sounds. It definitely reminds me of the OB-X8. I'm still going to shoot for the OB-X8. However, if that's simply not financially possible, at least it is absolutely wonderful to know the TEO-5 is available as another more affordable alternative. It's also nice to know the TEO-5 has some unique features that aren't available in previous Oberheim synths. BTW, the effects sound superb, but most importantly, so does the raw sound without any effects. This little synth can sound absolutely MASSIVE!!!! One thing I admired about Dave Smith and admire about Tom Oberheim is the passion for what they do and the thought and love they put into their products. I proudly own a Prophet 10 rev 4 and look forward to complimenting it with either an OB-X8 or TEO-5 someday. Thank you so much for making this video, Dr. Mix. Wow, you were actually able to meet Tom Oberheim and get an autograph signature from him on your new synth. That's priceless!!! Peace!
Wow! That’s a lot of sound coming from that little synth. I am pretty sure I heard some STYX and Loverboy sounds in there. I can’t wait to hear more from this synth. Getting the man himself to sign it..that’s the cherry on top! Awesome Vid Claudio.
Eh vabbè tra le tue mani suona bene anche una scatola di sardine 🤣🤣🤣 Synth stupendo, si posiziona al primo posto tra la mia lista dei desideri... e poi che onore aver incontrato una persona che ha sicuramente influenzato la storia della musica e spero vivamente che in tanti possano godere di questo strumento e sentirlo nelle produzioni dei nuovi artisti!
questo TEO-5... firmato da Tom Oberheim l'hai solo tu. Al di la dell'unicità dell'articolo, è "spaziale"! Piccolo, ma solo di dimensioni, perché può fare grandi cose! Grazie Claudio per aver condiviso con noi anche questo capolavoro di Synth.
I am so pleased with my Take 5 that I can really see this one becoming a legend. The easy to access split and transpose functionality does not make you miss a bigger keybed most of the time. Only downside for me is the lackluster Arp and Sequencer section of the Take 5...
It is super great to see Tom Oberheim building synths. I bought the OBX8 and I am looking for something like a Matrix 12 but add poly AT and keep the note-down velocity tracking speed as well as note-off velocity tracking speed. The Polybrute 12 is one approach but when you think of modular polyphonic with that special sound, it is hard not to have the Matrix-12 in mind.
5/6 years ago i saw one of your video for the first time and i was thinking "this boy Is italian for shure"... Nice, funny dude, empatic and natural happy! I love wath you do, i love sintesizer and music engine for music production in general. People can feel the entusiasm trough the screen! Ciao Paisà gran bel canale ✌️❤️🔥
Dr Mix and the man himself Tom Oberheim showing off the most desirable synth of the year in the same video is just amazing to me. This one has definitely got me out of retirement from buying new synths. The sound, the look, the price. I'll give it six months to make sure that there aren't any bugs then I'll get it for xmas
I imagine you will see a lot of these over peoples Rev 4’s. Love that that went with state variable filter, based on OB-6. The tone of this easily competes with the other OB’s and has solid effects section and complex mod matrix
Are the Take-5 / Teo-5 a general new approach to the general synth public (going to assume they use a similar platform)? They are (relatively) affordable. I have the Take 5, and it's a great to-the-point synth for "that" Prophet sound. But it also does make me personally crave for the other products (P6 / Rev2). So nothing against both great products, I'm just a bit confused to who these products are aimed for with the whole history of Sequential/Oberheim.

Rip dave smith :( I miss him
Wowww. Signed by Tom Oberheim himself. And the fact he is in this video is DOPE AF!!! 👑🔥
Noooo!!! Tom himself??? Thank you so much dr Mix!!!
So awesome. So much love for Tom Oberheim, Dave Smith and Marcus. I am so happy that Tom and Dave got together before Dave passed away. Tom and Dave were giants in the synth industry and two really good guys from all accounts. It is pure joy watching Tom play his new synth.
What a great sounding synth!
Who needs vintage stuff with new synths like this one.
It is your first Oberheim ever.. and it's signed by Tom Oberheim himself. That's what i call a hell of a good shot :)
-But Claudio, isn't that an OB-X8 in the rack over to your right in the video ? 🤔-
EDIT: Sorry, just realized it’s your Stratus 😉
I always love seeing your excitement when you get to play with a new toy
it's exaggerated for sure.
Oh damn; that's a nice one, and presented by the boss. So happy Tom managed to get his name back....
when Claudio plays the synthesizer, the thing comes to life. I mean for real. Thank you kindly, sir, for the energy that you put into your videos for us. And I bow to Tom, this is truly an amazing piece of gear 🙏🏻
🙏🕺🚀
Inspiring to see Tom and his enthusiasm. He’s created a wonderful sounding instrument. Thank you Doctor Mix.
Tom Oberheim says - it’s Oberheim and everyone can afford it! True, indeed. ❤
Words of gold, yeah 😊
I think the first patch is literally called “It’s An Oberheim” 😂
Great stuff Claudio, Tom playing at 12:15 that will go down as a beautful audio and video legacy from the man himself
Yes! Is that a factory patch??
What a beautiful meeting..with a new synth..the excitement of you playing it the first time..and of course..the love of this well aged man..a conqueror of the idea creating a world filled with synthetic gear to offer it the world!!! Wooow...god bless mr.Oberheim and this video!!
Thomas Elroy Oberheim (TEO) A living Legend. Great stuff Doctor! Cheers/Grazie.
this video, with Tom Oberheim in the flesh, feels really special. brilliant.
mind blowing synth. really nothing beats this. tzfm on an analog poly itself is wild, but the beautiful svf, the crazy mod matrix, the effects. just insane
Amazing, got to meet the man himself and a signed TEO-5 to boot. 🙌🏻🎉🙏🏻
What a fantastic channel you have ! I remember on an early Ober cutting a commercial track in a studio in the 80s. They hadn’t used one much and they wanted “the big bottom end.” The engineer wasn’t ready for it. I believe they replaced the studio’s woofers. 😂 I used to cut a lot of commercials, that was the only destruction I recall 🤣
Thank you for showing us an Oberheim synthesizer anyone can afford!
I can't afford it.
Without knowing your situation look at it this way - 2 Dunkin iced coffees every day for a year cost quite a bit more than this.
Damn! I own, and have owned my OB-Xa since the mid 80's and absolutely LOVE it. I have always said when looking at new keyboards of today, oh let's see if they have any Oberheim stuff on here, and sure enough, there is at least some Oberheim type sounds on most new boards.

I gotta check one out for myself. Maybe this will be for my carry around/travel version. Thanks Doc. Yet another great video from you.
this does sound really special...it's my first time hearing it...great demonstration...i'm really really hoping for an Oberheim TEO-10 🙈🤩🙏🏻😄🤗
Oh Wow!!!!!!!! I have tears in my eyes........... Such a wonderful device! A beautiful Doctor Mix video... Thank you so much!
Mr. Tom Oberheim in the house? O.M.G. I can't believe it! One of the greatest masterminds, who created the best synths in the world. Damn, you lucky guy! And what an amazing music instrument. Think, I have to order it.
Definitely one of my favorite synth Reviews! Can't wait to purchase it as my very first synth, very exciting 🔥
This would make a lovely first synth.
Aaaand... this synth goes right to the top of my wish list! It has some really innovative design features that make me go, wow, why didn't someone think of this before, but, Oberheim is a genius.
Kudos to Behringer for putting pressure on established synthesizer manufacturers. Could have been 6 voices though.
I really love Oberheim.
Great review as always! I'm getting one for sure. I was listening to the beauty shots part and my wife turned on "Little House on the Prairie". That beginning horn on the show fit in with the drum and bass groove!
Had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Oberheim speak at Knobcon a few years back...his love and enthusiasm for creating synthesizers for musicians is inspirational. Wonderful man and this instrument sounds superb. Great demo! I need this one...
THIS is why he is the King of Synth Demos! 🔥
Respect for Tom Oberheim!
This is stunning. This may need to be my next instrument purchase.
Thanks for sharing the TEO-5 and your time with the legend, Tom Oberheim.
Amazing demo! Love Oberheim synths!
This is amazing and 12:53 reminds me the Tom Sawyer by Rush!
Awesome synth. I love how he signed it for you, this particular unit will be a collector's item 🙂
Claudio! Thank you so much sharing this video and giving us a front row seat to Mr. Oberheim. Your video was so inspiring that I immediately ordered one! Now have to wait until some time in July to get it Again, thank you for all you do in the world of music!
This is wonderful! I'm so happy for Tom and all of us analog synth heads!
I love your channel and appreciate your reverence for the greats like Tom Oberheim!
This is great. I can see these selling like hotcakes not just to professionals who want something fairly portable but a 16 year old with some motivation and a Summer job could (fairly) easily afford this and have a rewarding experience . And to think I never understood why my parents wouldn’t buy me a Prophet 5 in 1978 😂.
That's truly an overkill sound. Amazing blend of 80s tunes which you can immediately spice up and transform into some dream beast.
Thank you very much, Doctor Mix. It is an excellent synthesizer. I appreciate it.
I must admit I love getting my hands on a good sturdy knob, I don't like the loose one's because they don't stay where they are once you let go of them.
I've got a Take 5 on the way. I can't wait. That TEO-5 sounds pretty sweet. Very aggressive.
Thank you for sharing the Oberheim-Experience...!
This video is legit so wholesome and awesome. So inspired and inspiring, u give me energy! Thanks a lot for keeping up the great stuff.
Wow... such warm sounds 🙂
This... is super tempting. It's got the sound, and is much more affordable.
Nice piece of gear....I just found out that many of those effects are guitar effects pedals....that you can connect most synthesizers to to get those effects as well. For those who dont already have a guitar and effects pedals, it will save you some money buying the effects pedals.
Am privileged to see Tom Oberheim. The real Doc pls stand up.😊👍🏼
What a fantastic presentation of the synth, and with the man him self. Many thanks from Norway.❤
There are some great sounding demos out there, but Tom gives us the real deal! Great scoop, Doctor!
I was about to buy the Take 5 couple weeks before this video came out. Just wow.
Buy both now! 😛
Waiting on mine to come in. Ordered it today 🙂
Congrats!!!!
I keep coming back to this video because I have one on order!!!! I'm an Oberhiem Enthisiast with an OBX8, OB-6, Matrix 6 and and Matrix 1000 with a Steroping Matrix Programmer and PolyChainer to stack the 2 Matrixes together for a "custom" programmable 12 voice Oberheim!!! I even own overlapping Oberheim VSTs from Arturia and GForce (and the newest addition the OB-1).... "Some Things Are Better Than Others"
At the end the arpeggios really gave me the vibe of "Tunic" soundtrack.
Oberheim synths are my favorites! There's literally nothing that sounds that good in this world. The fact you met Tom Oberheim himself, is really cool aswell!
I am absolutely blown away by how good the OB-X8 sounds, yet not impressed at all about how the less expensive OB-6 sounds.

One thing I admired about Dave Smith and admire about Tom Oberheim is the passion for what they do and the thought and love they put into their products. I proudly own a Prophet 10 rev 4 and look forward to complimenting it with either an OB-X8 or TEO-5 someday.
Thank you so much for making this video, Dr. Mix. Wow, you were actually able to meet Tom Oberheim and get an autograph signature from him on your new synth. That's priceless!!!
Peace!
Nice new toy from Oberheim. Sounds fantastic IMO and you're lucky to have met Tom himself
Tom Oberheim just made music technology exciting again ;-)
Gutted I have t wait till July.
I wish his signature was on all of them - classy ;-)
Very Emotional !
Pure Joy Claudio. Bravo! Tom Oberheim what a legend. - TEO-is beautiful you bugger - NEXT new Synth
Congrats Claudio, you are making history with your tips and news!
ONE MY FAVORITE.
Big sound in the little box. Sounds pretty good. And etc..
What a beautiful synthesizer, very good demo. Thanks Claudio
The best Dr. Mix video ever.
Shead a tear watching Tom himself in front of his new baby, congrats Claudio! 🔝🔝
The fact that he signed it for you too 🔥
The sound of this synth is just astonishing.
Wow! That’s a lot of sound coming from that little synth. I am pretty sure I heard some STYX and Loverboy sounds in there. I can’t wait to hear more from this synth. Getting the man himself to sign it..that’s the cherry on top! Awesome Vid Claudio.
The enthusiasm is so infectious 🤣🤣 like a kid on Christmas day,,,,
Love it 👍👍👍👍
What a righteous item. It sounds even better than it looks.
My goodness. This is a great sounding polysynth. Now do i want Teo-5 or Take 5?
increible, dr Mix!!
Your first Oberheim 👏👏👏
Eh vabbè tra le tue mani suona bene anche una scatola di sardine 🤣🤣🤣
Synth stupendo, si posiziona al primo posto tra la mia lista dei desideri... e poi che onore aver incontrato una persona che ha sicuramente influenzato la storia della musica e spero vivamente che in tanti possano godere di questo strumento e sentirlo nelle produzioni dei nuovi artisti!
That man is a national treasure!
Love that thing!
Want one!
Amazing sound and the price is also amazing.
questo TEO-5... firmato da Tom Oberheim l'hai solo tu. Al di la dell'unicità dell'articolo, è "spaziale"! Piccolo, ma solo di dimensioni, perché può fare grandi cose! Grazie Claudio per aver condiviso con noi anche questo capolavoro di Synth.

Your previous interview with Tom was marvelous !
Most impressive synth video have heard in a while.
It is super great to see Tom Oberheim building synths.

The Polybrute 12 is one approach but when you think of modular polyphonic with that special sound, it is hard not to have the Matrix-12 in mind.
I almost had to stop listening because I’m so excited about this one. Your video has my ears and heart in synch. Preordered
🙌 Congrats!!!
5/6 years ago i saw one of your video for the first time and i was thinking "this boy Is italian for shure"...
Nice, funny dude, empatic and natural happy!

It's beginning to look a lot like...
fantastic video!
It’s that funky Doctor again!
Wow! Is it me or did the passage at 12:10 lead to an awesome resolve at 12:41.
I imagine you will see a lot of these over peoples Rev 4’s. Love that that went with state variable filter, based on OB-6. The tone of this easily competes with the other OB’s and has solid effects section and complex mod matrix
Nice to be sponsored by Oberheim!
Mamma mia Claudio quanta strada. Un Obhereim firmato da Tom. Super meritato ovviamente. Questo strumento è stupendo.
capito che storia?!?! se mi fermo a pensarci mi parte il cervello
Holy Crap..... that sounds awesome!
Gosh darn it. I wasn’t going to buy any more gear. I have to say that your vid sold me. Well done!
Are the Take-5 / Teo-5 a general new approach to the general synth public (going to assume they use a similar platform)? They are (relatively) affordable. I have the Take 5, and it's a great to-the-point synth for "that" Prophet sound. But it also does make me personally crave for the other products (P6 / Rev2).

Tom E Oberheim. Clever. Love it!
It is a beautiful synth. Great sounds and the size looks just right. 🎶☮
What an amazing analog sounding Oberheim!!!! I want one!!!!
