I think you *can* change the curve in the traditional way.  It used
centrifugal advance, so you could change the springs and/or the weights.
The electronics are in the top and it looks like they just pop off giving
you access to the advance set inside.

I'm not sure why they didn't just make it fully digital except to save on
cost I suppose.  It would be cool to just plug in a USB cable to the head
and adjust the curve with a laptop.  Maybe that product is in development.
They're halfway there already.
