Remember the Loumavox ? That was an April Fools’ Joke, of sorts, back in December of 2021.
There was a YouTube “documentary” done about a forgotten but historic synthesizer from the 1960s discovered by a class of French students. Jean Michel Jarre was in the video too. SynthAnatomy ran an early article on it, with a link to the video.
Well on April 1st, in the same show that the Kodamo Infini, is being shown — SynthFest France — there is another exhibitor listed.
Loumavox !
Perhaps it will be a real pretend product.

Last year marked a sea-change in the music industry, with mergers and close cooperation of many electronic music companies.
Never to be outdone, Behringer has decided to clone three mergers of their own. They will begin by renaming their parent corporation, from Music Tribe to just Music, explaining that they’re no longer a loose collection of companies, but a united whole.
They announced they have already hired a head of one new merged division Dave Smyth, of Leeds England. He will lead their new ConSequential Division. Mr. Smyth has already announced his retirement.
In related and dramatic news, it has also been announced that Behringer is also hiring Clive King, also of Leeds England, as corporate wide Clone Safety Omsbudperson. The CSO, has an independent overseeing role, and acts as the clone representative at Behringer.
Expect more mergers in the near future.
How funny are you ?
Your big chance to exhibit your April Fools humor.
This is a challenging craft. It needs to be believable, and yet it progresses, sometimes with the punchline just flipping over into the unbelievable.
Give it a shot, or just read back through previous years submissions.

I was joking about this in the Chase Bliss thread, but for April Fool’s they should do a fake release for a Lossy HiFi pedal, where your sound coming out is the exact same as it is going in.

I haven’t been this disappointed in a fake announcement since the Korg Volca Tape announcement.
Because, like the Volca Tape, that sounds AWESOME! 
Edit: for reference

That was like this one, that fooled quite a few :
It went so far that Nick had to ask Rolf about it.
It didn’t happen in April, perhaps it would have been caught earlier.

I’m sorry 
It would be so awesome though… Although I’m not sure how I’d feel if Elektron went modular.
