No, they are in the 'presets' file which is binary and I wouldn't want to edit that manually myself... If you just need a static configuration (everything else should be possible via the couplers) one solution is to let someone set it up in the GUI and store it as the first preset which is also the default. I know that Julien Claessen (on this list) has written some extensions which make it more usable. He'll probably write to you if he reads this. Aeolus is scheduled for a *major* rewrite (for its 10th birthday), which is why since some time the released version is more or less frozen. In the new release everything is OSC controlled (the GUI becomes a separate program) so controlling in alternative ways will become a lot easier.

Hi Kevin! This version of Aeolus should work, I've got the same version, though installed by hand. I have this in my .aeolusrc in my home directory, to save me always giving those options: -t -J Actually I also have -s to give the stops directory. In aeolus you normally just have to do something like: S I prin8 S I ? should give you the short names for all stops of manual I and the indication by + and -, if they're actually pulled out. Normally MIDI channel 1 responds to manual I. I'm not aware of any other difficulties at the moment. Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
