ST devs should have supported MIDI devices more. I mean, those MIDI IN and OUT ports were THE killer features of the ST, not the 16 color graphics that you could already find on older computer systems.
I know that Sierra and a few other devs allowed ST owners to use an MT-32 or other external MIDI expanders for the game's musics, but the amount of games that supported this kind of enhancement was pretty low compared to the amount of IBM-PC & clones or x68000 ones, which is too bad as these don't even come with integrated MIDI ports (though Geograph Seal do support the use of MIDI expanders directly hooked to the RS-232 port)
And it's not like MIDI sequencer and patch editors lacked, the ST was the platform that made both Cubase and Notator popular, and utilities like pic related (yeah, this version was released in 2014, but the original was made in 1991) allowed musicians to edit FM patches the easiest way possible. There was this Sound Canvas utility available too.

I didn't knew ST users had such a nice FM patch editor.
