Hi Fernando,
First of all, if you package Aeolus and Jaaa please use the most recent
versions that I released only yesterday evening (libclthreads-0.0.3
and jaaa-0.1.1).
I noticed something different. I used to be able to
start
Aeolus and click on [Next] and then I would get a preset (you know,
instant satisfaction - who wants to spend time turning on stops? :-). It
does not seem to happen anymore. Is this something in the packaging I
did, or is it something different in Aeolus?
The current version comes with no defined presets, but you can easily
create your own. There are 10 banks of 100 presets. Click on [Memory]
and you'll see something like
[<][>] a:b c [<][>] and some other buttons.
a = memory bank # 0..9
b = preset #, 0..99
c = U, *, L, S
U = undefined (empty)
* = defined
L = loaded
S = stored
[Store] will save the current registration into to the selected preset,
and [Recall] loads the selected preset. [Insert] moves up the selected
preset and all the following ones one place up, and stores the current
registration. Finally [Delete] deletes the selected preset, and all the
following ones move one place down.
[Next] is the same ++b [Recall] and [Prev] is the same as --b [Recall].
You can also use the normal Midi control messages (if the channel is
enabled in the bottom row of the Midi matrix) to load presets.
If you have a full piano keyboard, then the C and D in the octave
below the lowest one used by Aeolus (i.e. note # 24 and 26) will do
the same as [Prev] and [Next].
To save your presets for later use, click [Save]. This will also
save the Midi routing and any changes to the disposition.
The file $AEOLUS_DIR/aeolusrc' must be writeable for [Save] to work.
This is one reason to put the stops directory in the user's home
dir, and not in one of the standard lib directories.
The [Preset] button works as follows: while it is 'on', changing
the registration has no effect until [Preset] is switched off again.
This allows your registration assistant to prepare a new registration
and then switch to it :-)
(So I've finally started to write a manual...)
Enjoy !
