  Trautonium English
The Trautonium is modelled on the so-called "Bandmanual" of the Hellertion, invented by Hellberger and Lertes early in this century.
The outputs of the two summing amplifiers are the trautonium's audio outputs, and are fed to effect units and the PA (audio mixer, amplifier, loudspeakers).
One of the VCAs is controlled by a foot controller, the second by the pressure voltage of the Trautonium manual A-198, the envelope generator A-140 or the LFO A-145.

Sala’s reputation as the leading, indeed sole, Trautonium virtuoso was thereafter assured, at least on his native soil, but more than twenty years were to elapse before its eerie sounds reached international ears — thanks to a last-minute decision by the master of suspense.
The original Trautonium was essentially a monophonic instrument: Indeed, it could be described as a state-of-the-art descendant of the Pythagorean monochord — a wire stretched across a fingerboard.
In the Trautonium’s case, the depressed wire completes an electric circuit that activates an oscillator, whose tone is amplified and can be altered by means of filters.

The Academy also housed the radio experimental centre where the trautonium was developed by Friedrich Trautwein, who since 1930 had worked at the experimental centre, first as a lecturer and then in 1935 as professor of musical acoustics.
Trautwein implemented this idea: the trautonium is played via a string manual that enables the use of all string techniques such as, for example, the glissando, the vibrato or the sustaining of the sound.

Hindemith ordered three specimens of Trautoniums, which were used for the first time in 1930 in the premiere performance of his Triostuecke fuer drei Trautonien.
After the war Oskar Sala succeeded in discovering a long-sought circuit which was able to place the Trautonium on the basis of subharmonic mixtures (the subharmonic tone series results from whole sequence division of the fundamental frequency and runs in mirror image to the overtone row).
What the trautonium possesses -and this is far more advanced than the many synthesizers available at the present time-, are its real-time possibilities and direct recourse to its parameters by turning buttons and using switches.

Not only did the score quickly disappear from circulation, but the instrument for which it was conceived - the two-manual Trautonium - failed to catch the creative imagination of composers at large with quite the same potency as its French sibling, the ondes Martenot.
