This layout controls Oberheim
Summary: Oberheim TEO-5 Desktop combines five analog voices, a SEM multimode filter and through-zero FM. This editor brings sound shaping and performance controls together with independent pages and two XY pads.
Released in July 2025, the TEO-5 Desktop puts the keyboard’s five analog voices into a smaller module. Its SEM multimode filter carries a lineage back to Tom Oberheim’s 1974 Synthesizer Expansion Module, joined here by through-zero FM and modern effects.
Move from oscillator blend to envelopes, motion and effects, with two XY pads for tone and LFO gestures. Mix and match pages to bring the SEM filter beside the controls you are playing. Best on iPad or Mac; also perfectly usable on iPhone.

Notes
Set MIDI Param Receive to CC, MIDI channel to 1 and MIDI Control to On.
Sound choices now use names where their meanings are known. Pulse Width begins at the proposed 50% square wave, Detune reads around unison, and LFO depths start at minimum. Native scales for levels, glide and bend remain intact. Some code orderings and signed centers are estimates; unresolved algorithm and clock codes stay numbered. Sustain Pedal has two choices: Released and Held, sending 0 and 127; incoming values select the corresponding state. Starting positions are controller choices, not a factory patch.
Choose LFO and Env 1 destinations on the TEO-5. Opening the layout does not read the current patch. Not tested on hardware. Built from the manufacturer’s user guide and MIDI documentation; owners are invited to test and share feedback.
