Pianoteq, the French makers of the famous piano modelings will release
next week an organ modeling. The blurb says:
"ORGANTEQ Alpha is a small organ with a keyboard range of 4 octaves
(from F1 to F5) and with 2 stops: a Flute 8' and a Flute 4' (octave).
It is provided in standalone mode only and should be regarded as a
foretaste of a more advanced commercial version in development, due to
be released during 2018."

something like "Silent Night" simplistically for accordion, so it was
just done off the cuff. But it does show that Aeolus works nicely with
that kind of controller.

I wonder how it would work with a breath controller like an EWI?

it would be single-manual and monophonic, wouldn't it?
So I expect nothing overwhelming here unless you find one-fingered organ
playing interesting. Ok ok, Bach turned the "monophonic" prelude of the
solo violin partita 3 into an organ prelude, but even on organ you'd
probably want to play some phrases over more than a single manual.

An EWI can play 2 notes at a time :) It has a "octave" switch which sets
it
so a 2nd note, one octave below, sounds at the same time. And a "sustained
note" thing which holds the last note played when you play a 2nd one, until
there is a break in the phrase. The latter is actually quite interesting,
but takes a lot more skill than I have to sound really good.
Monophonic Bach isn't all bad. Remember, the cello concerto (one of the
most beautiful pieces ever written) is, mostly, monophonic :)
But, I figured that the breath controller CC would not be supported. But,
since it's just software, maybe in a future release?

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.

A cello concerto would hardly be monophonic, but I cannot think of any
from "the" Bach (J.S.). Are you thinking of the cello suites?
I imagine they would give a breath controller (or actual wind
instrument) a run for their money. I play them on chromatic button
accordion (where a hand span of two octaves is still comfortable) and
they are a good reach. I'd imagine them to involve a lot of jumping
around on a piano keyboard, and a strenuous mess on wind instruments
(where broken chords/phrases over large intervals like that require much
more frequent overblowing switches than usual).
But, I figured that the breath controller CC would not

What do you _want_ it to do? Chances are that one can rig something up
that does it outside of Aeolus.

I've tried to play a few transcriptions on saxophone. And, listened to a
few as well. I certainly sound awful trying it. And folks much better than
I am don't sound all that great either. Mind you, I'm using to recordings
of spectacular cellists playing it :)

I don't really have the time these days to do much with it. More of a
