“Oh, for sale is the Yamaha CX 5M music computer. A little background information about this unit. Earlier this year, I tested it and it was working just fine. I recently tested it again and was not able to get video. When the unit is plugged into the television, The television will flicker like it does when you turn on the component that’s plugged in. It doesn’t seem to go beyond that. This unit has two cartridges. The first is the Yamaha DX seven voice creation program. The second is the program needed to utilize the FM synthesizer unit that’s attached to the bottom of the computer. Also, I have an original box that one of these voice modules may have come from. There’s also a tube here with several chips, some of which say that it’s an upgrade to the voice unit. I am also including the Yamaha CA01. This is the rear adapter that goes on the back of the machine. It allows you to plug in a cartridge to the back of the machine.” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“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

” Yamaha CX5M Music Computer. Condition is “Used”. The starting bid is quite low, so come and grab a bargain!

If you’re looking at this auction you probably already know what this is. It’s a fully functioning MSX music computer sold by Yamaha in the early 80’s and in lovely condition. It runs on MSX Basic, and included in the auction is the MSX Basic reference manual as well as the owner’s manual.

It is often used for programming the Yamaha DX7 synthesiser with the additional YRM-103 Voicing Programme module, which I have now sold.

It comes in the original box, though the packaging inside the box has long since disappeared.

Things to note – I originally bought this in the US and hence it runs on the US 110v supply. Therefore included is a UK/US adaptor so that it can be safely used in the UK.

This also means that the output is designed for the NTSC system instead of our native PAL system. This means if you plug it into a standard UK TV you need to make sure it has an NTSC option (quite often available through the A/V function).” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This sale is for the Yamaha CX5M MSX Music Computer sold between 1983 and 1986. I think this was an early version of this computer and therefore think the data of manufacture is 1983 or 1984. I think this principally because it has a power brick and later versions had the transformers inside the unit. This unit was sold in Europe and is therefore configured for a 240V AC supply. A picture of the rating on the power brick is included.” Click here to visit listing on eBay
