Is this perhaps the first fully Novation led DSI synth? I wonder if the DSI team have been able to gain technically from this partnership and if it impacts the synth in any way.

I expect it's to the OB6, what the Take 5 was to the prophet 6, but I also wonder if it gained any peak/summit technology.

The Take5 has little in common with the Prophet 6. The Take5 has the Prophet5 chip(s).
Likewise, the TEO-5 will have little to do with the OB-6 because it'll surely use the X8 chip and then a similar package as the Take5 with a new coat of paint, making a relatively inexpensive new synth with a high profit margin.

The OB-6 and Prophet 6 oscillators are each on a separate card that slot into the motherboard, which is different, and more "old school" way of doing each voice, than the reissues of P5/10 and X8. Using the OB-6/P6 tech in a newer, budget synth that looks like it's reusing much of the Take5 approach, seems highly unlikely.

So it's SEM filter. Andertons are showing stock available in July.

£1,499 is still rather high and for another 600 you could get the OB-6 desktop. But I understand that you're effectively getting a lot with the TEO-5. It sounds very impressive and I think I would prefer it over the UB-Xa.

Pretty impressive! A desktop TEO-5 would be a very tempting replacement for my OB-6, but I’m not holding my breath.

A desktop Take-5 or TEO-5 is a great idea, would sell thousands, but might compete with their own higher end products.

Fyi official

Take 5 has SSI chips.

X8 has discrete oscillators and filters, no chips. I saw you posted that the TEO-5 has discrete filters, any idea about the oscillators?

Correct. At the risk of stating the obvious, the TEO-5 relates to the Take 5 the same way that the OB-6 relates to the Prophet-6.

After watching the loopop video, I think it has some nice tricks that set it apart from the OB6. That being said, I have keyboards aplenty and am starting to contend with space. I would love to hear a side-by-side with the Pro3's filter...

Nice sounding official teaser demo.

It also doesn't sound like an OB-6, so if you like one more than the other, or want both, there's room for that.

I assume the OB-6 has an all analog signal path output? While the TEO-5 and Take-5 go through at least one AD DA converters because of the digital effects. Does it make a difference? Probably not but, it's something to consider.

OB-6 also has digital effects. Not that I care, and they can be bypassed anyway.
