Oberheim TEO-5 Editor

CTRLR Editor for TEO-5

New Version VX  with everything you need to edit a patch on one page! 

Improved Screen Layout

 
Mac versions were built on an iMac running Catalina. Plugins tested with Live 10, Logic 10.6 and Cubase LE 10.5. The plugins were compiled using Reaper. Users report that the standalone app works on later M1 Macs but the  plugins do not. YMMV
 
PC version is standalone only and has been tested on Windows 10 and 11.
 
Standalone Versions - if you are running these alongside your sequencer or DAW do not leave the MIDI track that is sending to the TEO in record mode or armed while using the editor. This will confuse the synth as the TEO will echo SysEx info to the editor and to the sequencer. So this is the rule: when using the editor turn off record for that track  in your sequence.

Once the Editor is loaded set up your MIDI devices


The editor uses NRPNs and Sysex to transmit and receive data so those these must be enabled in the TEO-5 Global Menu. Click on a Bank Number to load a bank.

I have added a Load Speed box in the Bank Loading section as the Mac and PC handle the messages in the MIDI Buffer differently. A load speed of 100 works fine with the Mac but you will need to set it to 200 on the PC. 500 slows the MIDI message transmission to 500ms which is very slow - but there just in case.  When you load a bank the editor sends out 16 patch requests and then loads the patches. On the Mac I noticed the 16 messages went sent sequentially as a block then 16 patch messages were returned. On the PC with no delay only the first or second patch was received. The delay ensures that the TEO has time to send the patch data before it gets another request.
