It's a conventional backlit LCD.

Be careful that you avoid 'bloatware'. Personally, I've already paid $600
for a Midi/CV module, and would not want to see the price of the seqencer
soar past $500 because this feature was included. Also increases time to
market and potential bugs. I think it would be a good candidate for
'alternate software personality', available later perhaps at an extra cost
to cover the development time expenses.
