There was one with a graphical interface:

MusicBox            No       Yes     No       David Fahrland

And its from the 64-69 or something, implemented in fortran, had a custom
made graphical interface, and supposedly was very much like Max, only
20 years earlier. The machine was placed at EMS/Sweden.
