This had to be the most well thought out, well produced April fools hoax yet..
I love Cyril and Amos in the white coats, as if they walk around the factory like that!
Also, getting Dorit in on it was classic. She even says " Its easier to play than the mono theremin".. lol
The technology used to make this happen also spells out IDIOT !
Lol.. you *almost* had me..
Props on the awesome prototypes... Amos/Steve?
Love,
Nick
The VPOs

Im going to start saving now for the 100 year anniversary theremin that Moog probably hasn't thought about releasing yet.
Coolest prank ever!

Since they actually made mock-ups of the poly theremin, they should auction them off to help raise money for the bob moog foundation

I loved this one, as well as the auto pitch from last year! Would anyone care to post a list of all of Moog's hoax products?

What would be great is if the joke was on us this year..
A polyphonic theremin?
That would be the ultimate joke. To have us assume it is a joke, when it isn't..
Anyway.. ha

I don't know what order these came in or what exact year they were
MoogerFooger FM (prior to release of the freqbox mayby 06 or 07
Maybe 08
One year they teased us with the Moog guitar with a video that some of us thought was a joke.

(Sometimes the April 1st jokes offer clues as to future products. MFFM = Freqbox, AutoDetune = LP rack, PolyTheremin = ??? PROFIT)

Totally - that song made the whole video for me. Just stupid enough to be Good, not Bad.
