The file was fun to produce because I could play with Aeolus's stops 
while the MIDI file was playing, catching those on-the-fly adjustments 
in the final recording.

If one listens to aeolus with studio monitor (audio reference) speakers, 
it sounds like an ideal recording of a great masterwork organ, without 
of course the creaks and groans, whistles, hisses, clicks and other 
mechanical noise such an organ might have (or have developed with age).

Aeolus is an awesome program that makes me anyway, a lifelong piano 
player, now have an interest in learning to play organ (to develop 
skills to play a multi-manual keyboard and pedalboard).
