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.
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.
From google I only found this information:

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