Well, on the Micromodular--the "regular" Modulars (rack and key) have a
large enough display that they can indicate the currently selected patch's
name.

Also, while the Micromodular does indeed have a Note Trigger button, the
Modular Rack does not.  (The Modular Key on the other hand has a bunch of
odd note trigger "slabs" in two shapes/colors, each playing a different
pitch by default.  Quite a weird arrangement, but I think I've seen it
before somewhere... :)

As for my SidStation, I just let my little El Cheapo controller keyboard
serve as a note trigger for patch testing. :)
