No kidding... the Atari ST was pretty prominent in the music industry. That's probably
the only market it really made inroads in.. at least in North America. I think Germany was
also a big market for them as well.

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.

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.
