trautonium

trautonium, electronic musical instrument whose tone is generated by oscillating radio tubes that produce an electronic pulse that is converted into sound by a loudspeaker.

The Trautonium was an important electronic musical instrument developed by the electrical engineer Freidrich Trautwein in Germany in 1930. Trautwein designed the first version of the instrument with the aim of freeing the performer from the restrictions of fixed (Piano) intonation.

Friedrich Trautwein development of trautonium The instrument was invented by Friedrich Trautwein in Germany in 1930. The German composer Paul Hindemith, who played the trautonium, wrote a Concertino for Trautonium and Strings (1931).

The Trautonium is an electronic synthesizer invented in 1929 by Friedrich Trautwein in Berlin at the Musikhochschule's music and radio lab, the Rundfunkversuchstelle. Soon afterwards Oskar Sala joined him, continuing development until Sala's death in 2002.

Synthesizers generate audio through various forms of analog and digital synthesis. In subtractive synthesis, complex waveforms are generated by oscillators and then shaped with filters to remove or boost specific frequencies. Subtractive synthesis is characterized as "rich" and "warm".

Synth-pop (short for synthesizer pop; also called techno-pop) is a music genre that first became prominent in the late 1970s and features the synthesizer as the dominant musical instrument.

Synthesis is the combining of separate elements to form a coherent whole. Synthesis, in essence, is the process of using sound generators, filters, and envelopes in combination with each other in order to create and shape new sounds.

The electronic production of sound where no acoustic source is used. An electrical SIGNAL is produced which is the analog of a SOUND WAVE; that is, the voltage fluctuation in the signal represents that of the desired SOUND PRESSURE variation.

As the strings are plucked or bowed, the vibrations travel along the coil to the drums. The sound is produced as the vibrations move back and forth along the coiled spring. Mr. Sen has said he would like the yaybahar to be as common as the violin or the cello.
