The only mod at the moment is a body-contact that, when touched firmly, causes the tone to drop a fifth.  Lighter touches cause partial pitch drops, but the action on that control is pretty poor.  One of the neat things that can be done with it is to either record a short passage (it was a primative record mode) or just play the demo, and then modify the output with the pitch bend contact.

The first time I used this (Sensor RE:Engine 11.21.03) the batteries were near death.  It would at full capacity for a minute or two, then it would slowly die over the course of a few more minutes until it stopped producing any sound at all.  I hope to reproduce that "dying" effect; perhaps by wiring a pot in series with the batteries (to thus reduce output voltage).  I'm not convinced this will do what I want, however.  We'll see...
