I only came across one .MOD player specifically intended for use with the AWE32/AWE64, and even that one specifically noted that it was mostly useless without an upgrade.
Impulse Tracker will happily use the AWE's sampler & mix in hardware (AWE32/64 is the best sound card for IT, IMO.) The problem with having 512k is the EMU8000 only supports 16-bit samples so IT has to up-convert before loading them in. In other words, you can play a module of max. 256kB of (extremely common) 8-bit samples. You get 512k of 16-bit samples but they're twice as big anyway. 😜 Still, there are tons of excellent mods out there that fit in that limitation.
AllSoundTracker is another interesting one made specifically for the AWE line and is fun to use with some neat features, if a bit buggy. Same limitations as IT with 512k though.
