Amiga 500, unlike the AtariST, is not MIDI capable without some kind of interface expansion. It also can not do FM Synthesis, it is only capable of PCM audio and sampling music.

No Amiga expert but softsynths do exist, not sure how capable they are with only four channls at disposal: http://aminet.net/package/mus/midi/AMidi
There's also cables that uses the serial port for MIDI I/O to connect external devices: https://amigastore.eu/590-midi-interface-for-amiga.html
For playing midi files, check this thread on EAB or even ask a question there.
