It sounds like the acquirer was at much fault as the company. Launching a musical instrument at CES is dumb - you go to NAMM (winter and summer), AES, or even NAB - somewhere where early adopters are, and press that will showcase the product to them. Requiring theory and practice to use an instrument isn't bad design. Compromising creative potential for potential market size just turns it into a toy, not something with staying power. Killing the android version would have been fine. Music apps and tools have been great on iOS since well before Oboe dropped on Android to fix the latency issues. The poster seems to be as wrong a fit for this product as it was for the market. All that said if you make a music tool and find an acquirer for any dollar amount you've succeeded. The market is teeny and people don't want to pay for new things.
