The acquisition also raises the intriguing prospect of brand cross-pollination. Richardson’s announcement letter hints at the potential for Moog to enhance the capabilities of inMusic and its exclusive brands. Could this lead to a future Moog synthesizer with integrated Akai MPC pads or an affordable Alesis synthesizer benefiting from Moog’s unparalleled audio-shaping expertise? Only time will reveal the extent of these collaborations.
Meanwhile, amidst the acquisition news, Moog recently celebrated its 70th anniversary with the launch of a web app inspired by its renowned Model D synthesizer. Additionally, the company unveiled the Moog One, its most ambitious and priciest instrument to date. As the synth community adjusts to this surprising development, all eyes will be on Moog and inMusic to see how this acquisition shapes the future of one of the most revered names in the world of synthesizers.
