"The Amiga was a better machine in general, but not in areas that would have been relevant to MIDI production."

I've read that, for technical reasons I don't remember, MIDI timing on the Amiga was a PITA too. It was never intended to do that and was more of the 3rd party afterthought while Atari built that in from the start. So yes, for home use without extra synths etc, the Amiga was the king of the hill for sound back then. Just not in the studio. Of course, the Amiga was aimed very much more at the graphics end of the market and lived on for years after it's demise thanks to it's easy integration with the broadcast video standards of the time.
