Sala soon came to realise that he would not be able to make any further satisfactory developments on the trautonium without a basic understanding of the scientific and technical basis of this instrument.

Sala himself was not part of the further technical development that took the valve technology which was used in the mixture-trautonium of 1952 into the field of microelectronics.

 Oskar Sala RIP
Oskar Sala was one of the most innovative men in the history of electronic music.
After the war, Oskar Sala made a breakthrough with his "Mixtur-Trautonium." For the first time in music history, it was possible to execute sounds which had been known in theory since the Middle Ages but weren't playable on classical instruments.
Sala's invention opened the field of "subharmonics," the symmetric counterpart to overtones, so that a thouroughly distinct tuning evolved ("Subharmonics" can't be produced on non-electronic instruments and therefore had remained a theoretic-acoustic edifice).
