“YAMAHA CX5M Msx Computer SFGO5 !+ manuals + Data cable TESTED like fb01 dx21 dx9
I am original owner and bought this when it first came out around 1984.
Importantly, this CX5M comes with the SFG05 sound module installed, which added additional features and allows MIDI in, from any MIDI keyboard, eliminating the need for the YK series keyboards! ( as was the case with the original release with the SFG01, which did require the YK keyboard )
I used it lightly for about a year before storing it carefully in a clean dry closet where it has spent nearly 40 years !
I am not sure where my original data cassettes are, but I can assure you, this 4 op SFG05 synth
Is capable of some wild, monster FM sounds. There should be plenty of free sounds out there still. OR , for the adventurous, you can program your own sounds with a YRM 102 ROM cartridge (not included)
TESTED recently audio output only,, using external MIDI keyboard, utilizing the “call music ” command, and the factory tones played back perfectly.
This unit has a very solid build, and last time I used it to record, before I stored it, all other capabilities functioned perfectly (Cassette storage, ROM cartridges, audio and Video
output)
INCLUDES Two CX5m user manuals which have some wear and slight discoloration, but are intact, (except larger manual is missing its cover (superfluous) , AND the CASSETTE TAPE INTERFACE cable. In my use , the cassette storage and loading was highly reliable, however, there are likely utilities available for sysex storage as well, (at least there used to be ! )
To get video to a TV or monitor , I believe you would need the Yamaha VC-02 cable, or equivalent .
Unit comes in original box with inner styrofoam ends. Box has tear at “handle” and on side, with some age spots and storage discoloration. FACTORY box will be protected and shipped in a slightly larger box for secure shipping.
A rare piece of Rare Yamaha kit in exceptionally well preserved condition. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay
