	Hmmm. Let's see if I can answer what you want.  I don't own a 
SoundBlaster, rather an ATI Stereo FX card, which is SB compatible, so I'm
sure this will apply. By FM synthesis, You're talking abut the built in
sounds on the card? Yes, I know Cakewalk for Windows can access these sounds
right alongside Sounds from a different midi device. However, the sounds are
limited and if this is the only "instrument" you're going to use, you might 
be disappointed.

	As for using the Sound cards as "Samplers", you can do that too.
Again, Cakewalk for Windows allows you to embed Wave files into your
works, which then play your sample right on beat. It's played through
the card, of course. I have had some pretty good results using the card to
play samples. However, you can only play one sample at a time.
