Trout by Quilcom: Reviving the Legendary Trautonium
Welcome to the fascinating world of unique electronic sounds with the Trout plugin by Quilcom – a virtual instrument that pays homage to one of the most innovative and influential synthesizers of the early electronic music era – the Trautonium. Developed in Germany in the late 1920s by Friedrich Trautwein, the Trautonium was distinguished by its unique sound generation method and an expressive ribbon controller, which allowed for smooth glissandos and vibrato, impossible on traditional keyboard instruments of the time. Its unique timbre found its place in film music (for example, in the works of Oskar Sala) and avant-garde compositions, leaving a significant mark on the history of music technology.
A Journey to the Origins of Electronic Sound
Quilcom Trout does not simply emulate the sound of the original Trautonium; it invites you on a true musical journey. By creating this plugin, the developers sought to convey the spirit and character of the legendary instrument, offering contemporary musicians and producers the opportunity to explore its unique soundscape. This is not just another synthesizer; it is an instrument that encourages experimentation and the search for new expressive means.
