One possibility is WinGroove:

	ftp://ftp.tohoku.ac.jp/pub/Windows/Sound/wingroove/wg09d.lzh

which seems to do realtime Midi->WAV for playback on a SB16/AWE at
sample rates from 11kHz to 44kHz - it runs fine on my 486/100.  Seems to
work under either 3.1 or Win95, and has a very nice sounding patch set
compressed to only 1Mb.

Unfortunately, I don't read Japanese (which the documentation is in), so
there are a number of options which I'm not sure what they do, though
apparently it can add reverb in real time.  Is there anyone else who
uses this and can tell me what the options are on the main screen and
what they do?  Thanks.
