okay so welcome to setfx(1), the lil icon of the AWE32 manual family. pull up a chair, grab a snack, we're doing Unix lore today 💖

✨ NAME ✨

setfx — load user defined chorus / reverb mode effects

like. that's the whole job. it loads your chorus and reverb modes. very demure, very mindful 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

setfx [-D devidx] [-F name] config-file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so this manual page documents briefly the setfx command. and when I say briefly, bestie, I mean the original program literally did not come with a manual page, so this one had to be written from scratch 😭

This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the original program does not have a manual page. no cap, that's the actual reason.

setfx is a program that will read config-file, and then use it to set user defined chorus and reverb modes of AWE32 sound driver. that's it, that's the gig. it reads the file, it sets the vibes on your AWE32. main character energy fr fr ✨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

The program follows the usual UNIX command line syntax, but doesn't support long options (options starting with two dashes -). periodt, no --long-option for you 🙈

Here is a summary of the options it accepts (yes, the original says "is accepts", we're not fixing it, we're just living with it 💀):

  • -F [file] — Specifies device file. that's the device file it's gonna talk to, bestie 🎀
  • -D [index] — Sets devices index. Use -1 for autoprobe. yes, literally -1, that's the magic value that means "idk you figure it out" 🧚
