Apple bought them to integrate into GarageBand as Alchemy 2 - and who knows? It could be sold by them as a separate ios synth - if you haven't already, please take a look at what's going on with the ipad, with Alchemy being one of the Crown Jewels on the iOS platform - FLstudio, Cubasis, Korg and their Gadget with audio track integration next, 48-track Auria with plugin support, etc.

Apple may be getting ready to do more with GarageBand - simple as that. They're super rich, so the expansion with Alchemy would make sense.

Quickly: when lawyers get involved: everyone has to shut the hell up - no choice.

the ipad market has bombed, and i think logic is the most 'logical' direction for them to shove alchemy (or its coders)
It hasn't bombed. It has been saturated. The doom and whoa commentary in the media is really annoying.
apple recently released figures which showed sales of ipads had severly gone down and they were no longer the top selling apple products.

Yes, that is correct. It does not justify the doom and whoa FUD, though.

Doom and whoa=sales of news.

Either iPhones are poorly built, or their users are rather clumsy.

I see some many broken screens, can't these phones handle a fall to the ground without cracking?
I don't feel like I'm clumsier than the average phone user, but iPhones... and probably phones in general, are purposelly built to feel and behave like bars of soap. My guess is to why you see more broken iPhone screens are that unlike most smartphones, iPhones are pretty beautiful. Apple uses really nice materials in their devices and their industrial design is bar none... in fact, you'll notice that most smartphones now basically look like iPhones, but they're all copies. So, because of their "fit and finish," people are often not willing to put on a decent case. Every now and then I take mine out of it's case and thing, "Holy crap this this is so thin and beautiful." Then, back in the case it goes. Never had a cracked screen yet.

...but I'm pretty pissed off about it. I dig what Apple's trying to do, on one hand. Look at that monolithic device on a billboard and it does impress. On the other hand, it's actually poor design from a user standpoint. You're really forced to put it in a case if you want it to last any length of time. That said, my wife and I have had iPhones since gen one. We upgrade every other model and the only one that ever failed was accedently put through an entire wash and dry cycle... (My wife left a caseless white iphone on a bed with white sheets ) and even then, after a few days in a bag of rice, the iPhone 4s actually worked though the screen backlight no longer worked. That's pretty damn impressive to me.

Fully agreed. My iPhones stay in cases unless I'm cleaning them. The two I've owned haven't suffered broken glass. The first one (a first gen iPhone) went through the wash accidentally (I habitually keep my phone in my front left pocket when I'm out of the house and I was staying with a friend for an extended time). After hair dryers and storage in a zip lock bag with desiccant packets, it came back to life with a minor dead area at the top of the screen. A few pixels tall, all the way across.

That problem has worsened over the last five years but the phone still serves my friend well (I gifted it to her when I bought the iPhone 4 I currently use). My original iPhone also suffered extensive abuse when I was crazy from Effexor (threw it across the room and at walls countless times). There's a minor dent in the metal back, but the super protective case on it saved it otherwise. She continues to praise that case to this day because she has dropped the phone many times and it has not suffered breakage. Of course, it looks bulky and the rubberized case collects lint, but that's inconsequential.

My iPhone 4 looks like a case, but I find Apple's beautiful product design to be outside the realm of reason in this situation: outside the case, it is slippery and vulnerable.

I'm focusing on justification based on fact, not rank capitalism.

What kind of legal obligations can that be, that demands this kind of total silence. Are these guys now living in the free world, or some kind of corporate dictatorship state?

It's the New Feudalism, dude! Get back to surfing, serf, before the Master returns and has you flogged on a public forum for spreading calumnies about our faceless corporate overlords!

Redmatica just surfaced in Apple Mainstage:

so it will take some until something from alchemy finds its way into Logic?

It could very well be some time before that happens.

But it still could be anyone's guess as to who bought them or merged with them.
