"modifications include:
extreme-range pitch knob with toggle, affects note pitch and rhythm speed/pitch
1/4" line in-that's right, send signals through the unit (mp3 player, instrument, drum track etc.) and use it as an effects box or amplifier.
Photo-theremin, wave your hand over the eye and produce a range of sounds, depending on what other mods are engaged
video in and out rca ports, run a dvd player or other video sourcethrough it with the two included quality RCA cables
1/4" line out
on-board speaker toggle on/off
main volume knob
line in volume knob (less volume = more filtration through effects)
sweet orange paint job with yellow and brown keys and yellow logo, matching orange knobs
4 body contacts, some of which are ground-sensitive
key volume knob (independent of drums, also affects other mods) with toggle and momentary kill
4 tone generating switches which trigger random notes from their respective quarter of the keyboard in the selected tone, stimulated by drums, line in, etc.
8 other knobs with that do crazy things like digitally modulated distortion, stepped tonal feedback, oscillation etc. Some of these have "momentary on" buttons, all have toggles.
The 4 components to the left of the keys are linked: a feedback module with toggle on/off, momentary on button, knob for high/low frequency and a dry/wet knob.
40 added external components total

This thing is seriously wild. Lots of fun and serious recording to be had with this machine, squealing analog/digital high warbles and cascades and buzzing granular lo-fi lows. Useful stair-stepped tone generation and glitching, see video for a small sample of the range of sounds and sights that can be produced."
