I'm pretty sure that I had something like this on my old Atari.
Hi Matthew,
I owned an MKS-70 and the PG-800 in the late 80s/early 90s. Wonderful
hardware, the MKS-70 was one of the best-sounding analog synths I've
ever heard.
There was a DOS program called PC-800 that you might be able to find in
one of the ancient DOS software repos. It worked, but not particularly
well, so it might work under DOSemu.
If you can find a similar utility for the Atari you might be able to run
it under Hatari or XSteem.
See the Emulators page at http://linux-sound.org for links.
Best,
