There's a video interview with her from that event where she explains how it works. The bass strings trigger the C64 SID chip, you can change waveforms and manipulate the sound in other ways from the C64 keyboard (which you can also play like a musical keyboard). It sounds like the sound from the bass strings are mixed with the SID sound. In the video the instrument is connected to a small, portable amp that she carries around strapped to her belt. It sounds pretty crappy in the video and on top of that, while Jeri is an engineering wizard, she is unfortunately not much of a bass player. I'd love to hear a musician play something on it.

She calls it a Keytar in the interview but technically that's what you'd call a strap-on keyboard like the Moog Liberation for example. But I don't care, she can call it what she wants, she invented it
