I don't think it's a secret, In fact, I think Grant may have posted 
some info on this group last fall. 
anyway...
What I played was a prototype so I'll intone the following disclaimer 
and then spill the beans-

designer capriciousness disclaimer:
Grant may well change his mind about what features from his prototype 
should/can be included in a production model or he may even abandon 
the whole project and make a  solar flare alarm instead. Knowing 
Grant, nothing would surprise me!

having stated that, the gadget I played had 1 VCO, a variable 
waveshaper, A VCF, A VCA, an LFO (sqr & tri) & an ADSR. The 'keyboard' 
was a stylus on metal pads, there was one chromatic kbd and four modal 
rows of pads, the intervals of which were fixed in four modes. (ie 
Aeolian, Dorian, Lydian etc) It was small enough to hold in one hand 
and the sound was startlingly beefy. Routing was done with switches.

I'm sure Grant will correct me if memory has not served me well here
