[GregoryGraveyard]

i thought it was pronounced moog like vogue??? thats what wikipedia says??

[robytur89]

One of the best april fools of ever! :D

[hangman1995]

wait...cant they make this please????

[apt95]

uh, moog, this looks like an april fools joke, especially considering the unfortunate bit where the first letter of the technology is highlghted. IsoDirectional thing in your fideo got abbreviated as IDIOT. just FYI. neat instrument either way.

[schzztzrz]

"Why don't they just buy a bunch of Theramins?"

"This is a bunch of Theramins"

"So they just released a bunch of Theramins"

"Yeah"

[FSK1138]

how did i miss this ? - are there individual outs ? -- ahhhhhhhh!

FAKE

[joelplutchak]

"Quite honestly, I thought they were joking." LOL

[xmikelawsonx]

When she said "moog music" and this is a video from MOOG, I started to feel that something was up.

[Copiophonica]

IDIOT. LOLBUSINESSAGENDA

[115Predator]

Did anyone else notice that "Iso Directional Inductive Oscillator Technology" Spells IDIOT?

[zaretix]

not sure if trolling or just living in the future...

[ZebualD]

she's gorgeous though...

[CraigSpannier]

"hey, you see that sign?"

[xTheDeathSaintx]

and this is how u pilot alien spaceships

[KimFTW0]

Haha her named sounded like Dodge Chrysler. Nice prank :)

[vbalock]

Damn. I really wanted this to be real

[MikaelFL]

"I thought they were joking" then I realized they were joking.

Trollin' at its best.

Kudos!

[cool555breeze]

ROTFLMAO!! (wish it was real, damnit!)

[thehackedface]

I was so frikkin happy.

For like twelve seconds.

[nelflow124]

Holy fuck i want to work for these guys as a EE student :)

[fusebmxrider]

Announced on April 1st, also known as April fools. The technology's acronym is IDIOT. I'm surprised no one else has caught on...

[lorena0987]

yellow letter = IDIOT XD

[hangebicom]

Technically I see no problems doing it in hardware. The problem is absence of humans, able to precisely and independently control their fingers in realtime.

[Jules979899]

SWEEEEETTTTT!!!!!!



[Jorickhoofd]

I totally fell for that.

[GNeuman]

Whatever next, a re-release of the Polymoog, complete with 1 week guarantee?

[ScorpionHUT]

... Well played, Moog. Well played.

[Adefesio94]

Why is this fake?? Can't this be real??

[fututronic]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA...sorry HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!....



[willplez]

I love how god damn futuristic theremins look when you first see them, and then you find out that they are nearly a century old!!

[willplez]

Haha! That's pretty funny!

[Charverharver]

Link it to quantum leap symphonic choirs, that would sound aqesome!!!

[Charverharver]

Looks like a steering device...

[Charverharver]

Steering wheel.

[AshleyMarkPomeroy]

[leegee23]

Lovely! What was that, I.D.I.O..?

Thanks!

[greenishcheese]

haha "idiot" ,, took me a while but i got there

[Aggmo]

Haha, only saw it now when I didn't expect any April foolin'. Got me so psyched! :(

[harryisntmyname]

They couldn't make one so they made this.

[paviglianiti]

Ti amo.

[cntrlalto]

great joke))))))

[cprostudio]

is this really fake? it looks awesome

[ZackMyld]

it's fake

[Mr1000Pattes]

She is also a good actress, I could never be serious while spelling I.D.I.O.T !

[brothertattva]

Hi-larious!

[coralcadfish]

Having played a vintage theremin and seen for myself the pitch and "control" difficulties, this blows my mind. Re Moog being "insane enough to make it happen" is about right. THANK YOU MOOG, for your profound, insane brains! You rock beyond.

[Poptartza]

I believed this until she said what the "technology" was.

[HelloOfficerGL]

ISO DIRECTIONAL INDUCTIVE OSCILLATOR TECHNOLOGY=IDIOT

[rootvalue]

@HelloOfficerGL OH WOW I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN THE VIDEO OMG OMGOMG I AM BLIND

[yayharekrishna]

man. i totally fell for this. BUT AT LEAST I DON'T HAVE HERPES!

[locobeis]

she is lovely!

[SmitheOne]

@locobeis simon esta bonita : )

[locobeis]

[imeifong]

What a great joke idea--for a Bernard Herrmann fan, this caught my attention for an extra reason. Too funny!!

IDIOT!! :)

[imeifong]

What a great joke idea--for a Bernard Herrmann fan, this caught my attention for an extra reason. Too funny!!

[donbosleymusic]

Google Joel Chadabe, look at his photos and his theremin set up in the late 70's. Not as elaborate, but similar concept.

[Mr0Unknow]

wow i raise my hat for that !

[hxclion7861]

IDIOT

[fryBASS]

Good job, Moog.

But could it actually be possible?

[ttsoff]

Wow!

[sigksigksigk]

THE DREAM! :)

[ThomasGrillo]

I can't say it enough. This was the best April fools' gag I've ever seen. They made it look so real. Moog Music even had a fake page for the PolyTheremin too. Well done! LOL ;)

[jjmomusic]

I love you guys! So funny

[zzzxtreme]

new york theremin society heh

[JudgeJudas]

I hate that this was a joke, because I was really getting into the idea.

Well Moog, now you'll just have to find a way to make this actually happen, won't you?

[pavo6503]

Ok ok. It's a joke. I get it. I don't play the theremin, but I do know what one is and have a general idea of how it is played. WHY is this impossible and can someone point me to some reading that explains why polyphonic theremin don't exist?

[MrBigmays]

io alla dimostratrice 4 colpi ce li do volentieri...:)...mentre suona "starway..."con questo strumento tutto stonato...:)

[NoorulAM]

IDIOT :P

[gordonraphael]

Dorit is now god as well as goddess.....!!! xxxx Way to go you amazing musician and human!!! x Gordon

[texasmaverick1983]

it sounds like my 8 Bit NES all over again LOL X-D

[ThomasGrillo]

This was the greatest theremin related April fools gag I've ever seen to date. Well done! ;)

[Cazaq]

I laughed my ass off on this one , good job guys.

[DrRobDammet]

IIIII'''''mmmmm pppppiiiiiccccckkkkkiiiiinnnnn­ggggg uuuuuppppp gggggooooooooooddddd vvvvviiiiibbbbbrrrrraaaaattttt­iiiiiooooonnnnnsssss.

[teemad]

Someone posted this today (April 4) and I was like "phoooar" without even watching the whole video. Until the "new technology" flashed on screen and I was like "wait a minute, that says... I.D.I.O.T."... dammit.

[johnvonahlen]

Awesome! I've got to think of a good one for next April 1st

[SOPADELICIOSA]

Looking at the engineers and their mocking about all in white is almost the funniest part. :-)

[mindstormsabrewin]

Dear God! Not STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN!!!

[koalabear2]

Great, Now i can reproduce the THX sound effect in movies!

[Booger6995]

@koalabear2 Now for the $20 question. Where did the THX deep note come from? Created by whom using which synth? This one generally gets most people.

[qoaa]

i wish this was real, good april fools Moog!

[rickosports]

brilliant! funny one!

[SladeBarker]

Amazing prank. I totally fell for it. The woman in the video is fantastic. Only after someone pointed out "I.D.I.O.T." to me, did I realize I was an idiot. On second listen, it sounded like someone fooling around with a synthesizer. Sheesh, do I feel dumb.

[thainmlh]

aaaahahahah that is so ABSURD! Awesome April Fools!

[h4sh95]

What is the song at 00:26, I don't remember it ?

[therealwulf]

@h4sh95 If you really don't recognize Stairway to Heaven, I'm not sure if there's hope for you.

[SOPADELICIOSA]

@h4sh95

"Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin. :-)

[bortluce]

@h4sh95 I feel it is stairway to heaven, led zeppelin.

[Jctankk]

@h4sh95 Stairway to Heaven

[squigglycircle]

I was almost falling for it until Iso Directional Inductive Oscillator Technology came along. :)

[SaturdayHorse]

Hi-hi! Nice one! Where can I get one? Oz?

[skisantafe]

what song is she trying to play at 0:26 ?

[bl4ck0p]

@skisantafe Sonic 2 final boss theme

[mtfbmx]

@skisantafe

Stairway to heaven ofcourse

[connortist9510]

NO STAIRWAY!!!



[SPFXsynthesisers]

This is brilliant.April 1st.

The woman is beautiful aswell,she looks like something from space 1999.

[thedragonb0y]

Did anyone else get reminded of Earthbound?

[thedragonb0y]

Did anyone else get reminded of Earthbound?

[metaldog01]

Aww.... i really wanted one !!!

[chemriof]

IDIOT?

[fast328]

Awesome. Just wish it didn't sound out of tune all the time.

[Spurkplug]

I just thought that jokes doesn't cost 1,995$.

[ematech]

is not possibile, i't's a 1 april joke

[kynoceph]

good one!

[Rebish]

How very strange, there's no "add to cart" button like there is on their other theremin pages ;)

[mattlth]

Oh wow! That gave me just what I needed: A very cleansing, hearty laugh! Thanks to everyone at Moog Music. You just made my day....maybe my year!

[eggfleece]

can i download this on piratebay? ..if not then fuck it

[reverendnorm]

Too bad she only plays that "pony-tail hippy song".. pretty cool toy though

[ObSunVid]

Are the antennae dishwasher safe? 

[xoques]

NOT FIRST EVER! done in the 70s using similar analog stuff. a great sinewave oscillator can be made by using a tank circuit coupled to a tunnel diode which were in production at the time. people (searched google) who trace the tunneling effect on less formal ways. an ore containing semimetals with point contact with each with its own tank will do the same. been there done that....1972. GE was the foremost maker of tunnel junctions until sold to Germanium Power Devices.

[RobRosen92]

unfortunately 4 friends of mine thought this was real!

[turbodub501]

lmao idiot

[BarkingSpid3r]

IDIOT - hilarious

[noahyorkcity]

I just jizzed my pants



[ustadkhanali]

[ZeBraMusiq]

[ZeBraMusiq]

[erikianwalker]

Stairway to Heaven makes it funnier

[conquerearth]

hahhhahahhhahhahahahhhaha amazing. good job guys

[lumsdot]

The date at start of video is 4.1.2011 i.e. 4th of Jan 2011 so its not an April fool

When using dates start with smallest unit i.e. Days then next biggest unit months then next biggest unit i.e. years.

Using Month-Day-Year is daft and would be an April fool in itself

[Phariadify]

@lumsdot Americans do it that way

[pavo6503]

@lumsdot They used the USA format for dates, we put month/day/year. You Euros use day/month/year.

[junglebastard]

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN INTRO :D

[synthlab]

[conway7734]

Absolutely marvelous! I guess I have to work a little on my vacuum tube version.

[beefheartvliet]

It Took me a while, I saw it posted on someone's facebook and thought how is that possible. Cheers Moog ;-)
