should be sent by MIDI, while the user just switch from setting 1 to
setting 2 by the GUI and a sequencer could receive it.
A misunderstanding because we are writing on English? It's not my native
language ;).
A misunderstanding because you are apparently not aware of
how Aeolus is controlled. With the default instrument setup
there are around 55 'stops' wich can be switched ON or OFF
individually. In general Aeolus could have up to 256 of such
binary switches. Not all combinations make sense, but there
are still zillions of them that do. Such a system does not
map to anything standard in MIDI, but it is how a real pipe
organ is controlled.
There's 16,384 NRPNs, easy fit. Bit high resolution/bloatey for binary
toggles, but a sysex solution would be just as bloatey anyway.
