For what scheme implementation are you using? And where can I get what

anybody has done emulators for them but I thought I would at least let
you
know they are there.

Hello.

Below is an unfinished list of modular synths. Better than nothing.
This kind of simple lists gives a good overall picture of the
situation.

For us developers the list should have following info: have source
code?
have manuals? have screenshots? have example instrument files?
I think I have collected enough all of that.

BTW, the paper on first interactive graphics system (I.Sutherland's
SketchPad 1963) gives the idea that the drawn circuit diagram could
directly
be used as input to the circuit simulators.

Digital modulars have been around as long but I could not find
anything
(between 1963-1980) on having a graphical frontend to them.
Of course, I do not have access to many old papers.

Regards,
Juhana

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.

(At the top there is a picture of the machine)
