Is the Moog One discontinued? Rumors abound that the godlike Moog poly has reached the end of its life cycle. What does it mean for Moog if it’s true?
Moog One Discontinued?
Rumors started circulating over the weekend that the Moog One had been discontinued. This after Antwerp, Belgium-based store Turnlab posted about it on its Instagram page.
“Moog One is now Discontinued (EOL)!!” it said. “Still want one of these beauties? We still have a very limited stock! Order/Contact us now!”
That EOL, of course, means End Of Life. It’s a business term indicating that a product has reached the end of its product cycle and is no longer financially viable.
If true, this would mean the 16-voice model will stop being made. It follows the eight-voice version, which has already ended production.
Moog One Discontinued: Is it True?
Moog Music has yet to confirm or deny the rumor. The One product page is still active on the Moog site. Retailers, including Thomann, continue to sell it.
Moog One Discontinued: What Is the Reaction?
Reactions to the rumor run the gamut from the usual “oh no” type responses to more opinionated takes.
“Shame what’s happening at Moog,” said a respondent on Instagram. “These and a few others will be the last of their kind.”
This same opinion was echoed over at Reddit, where a user wrote, “Is this a casualty of inMusic looking after the bottom line, or are the mixed reviews for the price and poor sales (causing) Moog to shelve the One? Perhaps both?”
“I think it’s a casualty of what is happening to the Moog brand in general,” said another person.
“Or it’s been out for 6 years which is (the) usual timeframe before discontinuing,” offered another.
Moog One Still Available – For Now
The 16-voice Moog One continues to be available. Maybe buy one now if you’ve been on the fence about it. Or hang out and wait for the upcoming (but as of yet unannounced) new poly, the Muse.
