Oberheim TEO-5 Bass Tip | Cancel Out Your Low End for Clean Pads!

video upload by Sidetrack Walker

"Unlock a simple phase cancellation trick on the Oberheim TEO-5 to control the low end (bass region) of your patches. In this quick, voice-over tutorial, I use a lush FM pad to demonstrate how combining triangle & square waveforms thins out the bass. Use this on pads to prevent mud, or avoid it when you want a solid low-end for bass lines.

🎧 Use headphones to hear the difference.

What you’ll see & hear:
• Phase cancellation demo on a TEO-5 FM pad
• Waveform switching to show low-end attenuation
• Why this trick helps pads sit cleanly in the mix
• Why you should avoid it for bass patches
• No external FX—just the TEO-5’s raw sound with mild limiting

Whether you’re into sound design, mixing tips, or simply love the TEO-5’s character, this quick tip will add a new tool to your synthesis workflow."
