I found a guy who sold an AWE32 CT2760 for 50 NOK (around 9 dollars) and I ofc bought it.

I don't have any machine to put it in, but I was thinking of replacing the Soundblaster 16 CT1770 in my 486 machine with it.

So my question is, what do I in practice gain from this? Are there any games that are superior with AWE synth compared to MIDI on a SC55mkII? I have an intelligent midi device, so I won't be using the MPU-401 on the AWE32 (and thus experiencing the hanging note bug).

Eradicator can use the AWE for higher quality spatialized sound effects.

If on this AWE the OPL3 clone is routed through teh EMU8K you can apply chorus/reverb on FM-Synthesis.

How can I tell? I've got this version of CT2760:

I guess the easiest way is to just set after effects and hear if they apply also to FM.
