Well, i can be possible, but not with Chip memory, it can have 2mb of Chip + 8mb of Fast Ram, total memory 10mb, but A1200 was designed to have up to 8mb of chip, but commodore decrease for reduce production costs to 2mb, for this reason you can set chip memory to 8mb on WinUAE, i'm not sure but i think that i read somewhere.

And as you can see on my signature i have an A1200 with a Blizzard 1230 with 50 Mb of ram, 2mb of chip and 48 of fast ram, using SCSI board for your Blizzard you can plug two memory simms.

Octamed Soundstudio can load the sample on Fast memory, i found this:

 Another facility provided with OctaMED Soundstudio is less visible but still important. The Amiga is unusual in computer terms, in that much of the work that would normally be carried out by a main processor is actually performed by some custom-designed Commodore chips, such as handling the graphics display and retrieving sound samples from memory. The snag is that only parts of the Amiga's memory are accessible to these custom chips, and the amount of this so-called 'chip' memory is limited. OctaMED Soundstudio can, where appropriate, load samples into the machine's non-chip memory, and then transparently copy them into chip memory as required. You'd think this might slow things down a bit but, surprisingly, the buffering process turns out to be very fast.
