Subject: Yamaha system question
I was looking through a store the other day and saw a
Yamaha
CX5M (I think) Music Computer. It had an MSX in one corner so I
guess it was a child of that standard attempt. There was also a
MIDI module on it but no storage device, docs, etc. There is a port
for a monitor and one for a cassette drive but of course I wouldn't
know the pin outs to make a cable. Does anyone know anything
about this system or have any thing on it they could tell me? I'm
thinking about picking it up but haven't made up my mind yet.
Thanks.
It's an early MIDI sequencer that came out right at the same time as the DX-7
synth did. It was, IIRC, designed to allow basic tracking and editing of
sequences.
