MIDI on an Atari ST

Hi everybody,

Here's an odd one. Hypothetically, if I have a keyboard, with no
internal sampler (a hypothetical Ensoniq ZR-76, say... for which
I could probably never hope to find the sampler upgrade board ;),
and would like to use an Atari ST to do some sampling (and play
back of samples, too -- triggered by the keyboard), is there a
way to do it?

I'm not familiar with Atari ST software, but I just happen to
have an ST520 setting around not doing much, and wonder whether
it could be used for this purpose. ISTR that STs had decent
MIDI capabilities for the time.

Otherwise, what sort of MIDI-ish stuff can be done with this
machine?

It might make a good secondary sequencer, patch editor, etc,
anyway...
