You're  obviously  very  misled since there is a lot of MIDI software on
the ST that is not available on the Amiga.   Realtime  from  Intelligent
Music  and  The Steinberg-Jones 24track Sequencer are two big ones I can
think of.  There are very few MIDI applications on the  Amiga,  come  to
think of it.  Serious ones, in any case (Sonix is NOT serious)...
