That is the main purpose of the MIDI System Exclusive messages, precisely.
Almost all manufacturers of hardware MIDI synthesizers provide sysex messages
in order to store and retrieve sound configurations (programs) or modify
single parameters of the programs. The format of the messages is free, and as
long as you need.
Here is a general description, if you need it:

The MMA requires that you use a registered manufacturer ID, but only for
commercial products. There is a special ID = 0x7D that is intended for
educational or development use only, and should never appear in a commercial
design.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. Most
hardware MIDI controllers will
let you send continuous controller values or toggle between two values.
But to control the stops in Aeolus you basically need to be able to
manipulate individual bits of the controller values...
Some time ago I wrote a small script that might be just what you need.
It uses mididings (http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/) to convert normal
MIDI controllers (one CC for each stop) to Aeolus' CC 98. You'd just
need to insert it between your MIDI controller and Aeolus.
The basic problem here is that MIDI doesn't have anything
close to what is required.
