This Yamaha computer is specialised in music and sound production. In fact it is a low range [MSX 1](/museum/msx-1/) computer, but if you bought the special Yamaha synthesizer and piano keyboard, then you had a real synthesizer with a sound quality really suprising for that time, and the ability to change or create you own sounds.
|
||
|
||
The YIS-303 is in fact the same computer as the [Yamaha CX5](/museum/yamaha-cx5/), but it has not got the SKW-01 Sound Module built-in.
|
||
|
||
Yamaha also produced upgraded versions of this computer : the [CX5M](/museum/yamaha-cx5m-music-computer/) and the [YIS-503](/museum/yamaha-yis-503-diabolik/).
