First of all, your friend should klick on the MIDI settings and assign a MIDI channel to one of the stops. AFAIK, the MIDI assignments are not saved in the config file, so the MIDI settings have to be done after every start anew. Hope this helps. Great piece of software, try it out! Best regards ce

Hi Julien, hi Fons, hi all, On Tuesday 01 February 2005 18:34, Julien Claassen wrote: <snip> Ah, I think aeolus is (until now!?) a program where the gui is essential. Unless there is a way to select presets from commandline you have to select the right stops by pressing (graphical) buttons in the mainwindow. Maybe Fons should/could give them keybindings? The midi channels aren't the problem since they are by default 1:first manual, 2:second manual, 3:third manual, 4:pedal... And the midiconnections within alsa aren't a problem for command line users... Arnold PS to Julien: I have your talk at LAC2004 in very good remembrance. Unfortunately the lighting was unfavourable so you looked a bit like a freak :-( But the presentation was real cool. -- There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.
