emu8000 การใช้
- On the initial release, Creative promoted the EMU8000 as a delay lines.
- The synthesizer section consisted of the EMU8000 sampler and effects processor, an EMU8011 1 ISA card, measuring.
- A major design change from its predecessor ( the EMU8000 ) was that the EMU10K1 used system memory, accessed over the ISA bus.
- Released in March 1994, the " Sound Blaster AWE32 ( Advanced Wave Effects ) " introduced an all new MIDI synthesizer section based on the EMU8000.
- AWE32's usage in Windows was simplified by the fact that Windows 3.1x had drivers which made the OPL3 and the EMU8000 appear like any another MIDI peripheral, on their own MIDI interfaces.
- To support older software, the AWE32 featured OPL-3 FM synthesis, and came with the AWEUTIL program which attempted to provide GM / MT-32 / DPMI compliant DOS extender, then the MPU-401 emulation would not function and the EMU8000 would not be used unless directly supported by the software.
- The AWE32 didn't use its MPU-401 port to access the EMU8000 & mdash; Creative decided to expose the EMU8000's registers directly, through three sets of non-standard ports, and interpret MIDI commands in software on the host CPU . As with the Gravis Ultrasound, software designers had to write special AWE32 support into their programs.

- Announced on June 6, 1995, the SB32 became the new entry-level card in the AWE32 product-line ( previously held by the " AWE32 Value " . ) The SB32 retained the AWE32's EMU8000 / EMU8011 MIDI-synthesis engine and built-in instrument ROM, but dropped the onboard RAM, the 30-pin SIMM RAM sockets, which allow up to 28 MB RAM to be installed and used by the EMU engine.
