Several reports have confirmed steep layoffs this week at Moog Music's Asheville, NC headquarters, shortly following an acquisition by InMusic (parent of Akai, Numark, Alesis, and others). Even in a tough year, these cuts are uniquely significant, as they strike at the brand story of the single best-known name in synths.
They got bought by inmusic recently. The company that owns Akai and Alesis.
This is hardly a surprise. It's regular old corporate downsizing.
