When I first read that PCem supported the Sound Blaster AWE32 sound card I was very excited because I remember it having great MIDI music due to its nice reverb and chorus effects that made the music sound more natural.
However, I was disappointed when I found out that the MIDI music remains dry even when the effects are enabled.
All the drivers are correctly installed, so I don't think that I'm doing something wrong.
Does this mean that the AWE32 is only partially emulated and its effects processor isn't emulated yet?
AWE32 effects?

Correct, the effects processor is not emulated, as there is no documentation on it.

Alright, I understand, thanks.

On the bright side, it doesn't emulate the terrible SNR either nor does it emulate the post-installation stress of the physical card.
Gotta mention it being a bit quiet though. Maximizing the volume on both the volume control and the midi controller doesn't help much.
Haven't checked if SoundFx2000's recent opensource release had EMU8K reverbchorus or not
