Looks like people want more than 1 instrument to create a song with.

The restriction isn't letting people get a feel for the potential of your app.

I would like to recommend it to my fellow electronic musicians, but with such restrictions it is literally not worth the time. Make a lite version that presents the interface and 2 or 3 instruments simultaneously, and a premium one that just unlocks everything. There's a huge variety of electronic music software on the iPad, and musicians don't have the patience to be nickel-and-dimed.

In my experience with iOS music apps, most of them use IAP. YMMV.

I guess I'm biased towards the more pro end, though some pro SW like Animoog does that too.
