I have one of these running with my MOTM, and I haven't had time to get 
alot out of it other than a groovy diggery-do type sound.
It has the following features:
For running audio it has filtered mixed and unfiltered outs, withc if 
combined in a mixer allow you to blow open built in filter. There is a 
dj-style slider that allows you to mix between unfiltered and filtered 
output. The filter sounds like a high pass to me, but I could be wrong. 
It's very raspy shrill at times, based on the settings of the S.E.D. 
(no idea) and resonance slider
On the CV side of things it's more interesting.
Breath controll can be used to change the pitch of a VCO, blowing 
making it higher and inhaling making it lower.
The bite tube, sealed at one end, sends a "wah-wah" style modulation 
fequency that starts strong and slowly fades out. It can be applied to 
a vco or filter 9for the diggery-do), and the bite has a slider for the 
intensity of the effect.
There is also a touch pad (the "Touch" in Master's Touch) which sends a 
modulation frequency based on wiggling your finger back ond forth on 
the pad.

There are also trigger outs, set off by the breath tube, one for 
inhaling and one for exhaling.
Also, the sensitvity of the breath controll can be adjusted with a 
screwdriver.

That's a brief roundup. I can't say I've had any luck playing anything 
but the sickly sounding tune with it, but it's fun none the less.
