Still using my real Atari for MIDI sequencing. It is one of the tightest and jitter free setups you can get even today. As far as I know the midi ports are directly bound to the CIA which itself is directly connected to the CPU. If you compare this to MIDI over USB, then there are worlds between it. This also also one of the limitation of the Hatari emulator. You cannot use it for midi stuff as you do not get the advantages.
As I understand it, Hatari is mainly aimed at running classic ST games. I think its emulation core was the basis of the Amiga PiStorm and similar projects.
There's another all-software ST emulator out there called Aranym:
https://aranym.github.io/
It has its own all-FOSS ST-compatible OS distro, AFROS:

Aranym is aimed at running ST GEM as well as possible on modern machines, for productivity apps and so on -- so it sacrifices absolute hardware compatibility in favour of performance and features like high screen resolutions.
I would love to see a bare-metal Raspberry Pi version of Aranym, to turn a spare Pi into the fastest maxed-out Atari TT030 ever. :-)

Kind of unusable on my HDPI monitor, get a tiny rectangle on the page, and the mouse locations don't map correctly.
Still kind of cool I guess.

Hatari has existed as an emulator for like a decade....
I get this may be transpiled to the web, but...
