And the built-in MIDI. That was its killer feature to
my musician buddy
who
used an ST up until only a few years ago, when he replaced it with a
Mac.
What is this, 1987? Amiga realized the importance of MIDI. I still have
my
pre-release handmade dongle that RJ sent me. Commercial MIDI adapters
were
pretty cheap, which satisfied the tiny fraction of the market who wanted
MIDI.
I don't know much about MIDI on the Amiga, but I saw (my personal
experience)
many more STs doing music work than Amigas. If Amiga had this by 1987, it
was obviously too late to make a significant dent in that particular
niche,
at least around here.
With built-in MIDI, it was easy to make it a huge success between
musicians. This is one of the (few) biggest mistakes of the Amiga
