As well as effects to alter the tones, you could consider adding a 
repetitive mode in which beats/rhythm is introduced for one or more 
tones, such as various drumming styles, pizzicato, rock rhythms, hip 
hop, waltz and other dance beats etc. If the tones sounded concurrently 
this could add a ground bass effect.
