There is nothing to map it to apart from tremolo/schweller, and the
results were not good for accordion.

For what it's worth, I don't connect Aeolus with the Roland FR-1b
directly since their various controls (particularly registration) don't
match too well.  Instead, I have a mididings script I call "Olifant"
(since it makes the Roland loud) that maps controls as I find suitable.

If you want to, I can post it (again I think).  There are various shell
scripts calling it and connecting stuff depending on the soundcards I
actually use for connecting stuff up.
