[LAU] Aeolus, synthesized pipe organ

[Stephen Doonan]

Aeolus is amazing! A totally synthetic pipe organ that sounds extremely 
"real" and beautiful, amazingly spacious, complex and full-bodied.

I imported a MIDI file of Bach's Sinfonia to Cantata 29 into Qtractor, 
then connected the MIDI output of Qtractor to Aeolus, then played back 
the MIDI data while simultaneously recording the audio output of Aeolus 
responding to that MIDI data, back into Qtractor. Then I pressed some of 
Aeolus's stops while the file was playing and recording. I exported the 
audio as an OGG-Vorbis file directly from Qtractor. Here it is (no 
post-processing, no normalization, no editing nor effects at all) for 
anyone interested:

What an amazing sound Aeolus has. Thank you so much, Fons (Adriaensen). 
It makes me want to buy this (if I had the money)--

(I wonder if the stops just beneath the keys can be easily programmed in 
Linux to correspond with stops in Aeolus)
