Module
“Mixtur Trautonium” by Oskar Sala. It is made of
four parallel resonance filters with common input
and output (see fig. 1 on page 3). Each filter can be
switched to low pass or band pass or off. Frequency,
resonance, mode
trolled for each filter separately by hand (no voltage
control !). The frequency range for each filter is about
50Hz...5kHz.
The input level for all filters is controlled by an attenuator. The filter audio inputs are very sensitive so
that distortion may intentionally be used to create new
sounds - if desired.
The A-104 is a versatile module for sound modifica-
tion. In the first place it is used for reproduction of
resonances (e.g. the vocal-like effects known from
the Trautonium). In combination with the
nic generator A-113 one obtains the complete replica
of the Trautonium sound generation.
