No it's a Zorro card for big box amigas.

you can use a midi sampler with your A1200, plus you'll be able to use any
sequencer you like and not have to worry if it supports the same sample

Also once you've built up the sequences on the sampler you can then sample the
sequences into the Amiga and mix them with extra amiga instruments which will
result in a better alround sound.
