The CX-5 has two sound chips in it.
One of them is the normal MSX computer sound chip which is a General
Radio XXXX.
The other is the Yamaha DX9 sound chip.
It comes with a built in real-time recorder which can store ~2300 notes,
split the keyboard, play with rhythm, etc.

The computer comes with MIDI in and out (not thru), but only the
MIDI-out can be used with other instruments; so, you can`t play the
synthesizer with a MIDI-keyboard, though you can play another
sysnthesizer wtih the CX-5.
