I beg to differ - the Amiga has tremendous MIDI capabilities - with a very
inexpensive MIDI box (as low as $30), AND A MIDI PROGRAM SUCH AS SONIX, DMCS,
DR T's, and so on, you can produce amazing results.  I had the pleasure to
listen to some music by Bach played out over a CZ-101, and it was amazing.

As for the hexadekaphonic sound, with most of the MIDI programs, you can
support AT LEAST 16 MIDI instruments, so what's the problem?

As for the gaming, the only reason the Amiga is good for gaming is the
coprocessors make graphics and sound output smooth and amazingly
crisp/true-to-life in a personal computer.
