Aeolus is a synthesised (i.e. not sampled) pipe organ emulator
that should be good enough to make an organist enjoy playing it. It is a
software synthesiser optimised for this job, with possibly hundreds of controls
for each stop, that enable the user to "voice" his instrument. First presented at
the 2nd LAD conference in Karlsruhe, end of April 2004.
Main features of the default instrument: three manuals and one pedal,
different temperaments, variable tuning, MIDI control of course, stereo
or Ambisonics output, flexible audio controls including a large church
reverb.
Aeolus is not very CPU-hungry, and should run without problems on a e.g.
a 1GHz, 256Mb machine. The current release is 0.10.4, available on
the downloads page.
