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. ---- Ed Moskowitz At&T Bell Labs Naperville, Ill.
