The ST would make a nice sampler if it had enough resolution.  The
Emu-lator for instance has 12 bit resolution, the ST only 8 (but, was it
the old Atari machines that had a 16 bit playback mode?).  Of course the
68000 at 8MHz is pretty powerful; one could imagine a trivial board that
would do adequate conversion.

Bear in mind that the ST gives you the inexpensive part of a
synthesizer, the board with the chips on it.  A keyboard instrument
usually also has a keyboard.  Good ones are expensive.  Unless you'd
like to play your next piece on a QWERTY?
