aeolus \- synthesised pipe organ emulator
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Aeolus
is a synthesised (i.e. not sampled) pipe organ emulator that
should be good enough to make an organist enjoy playing it. It is a
software synthesiser optimised for this job, with possibly hundreds
of controls for each stop, that enable the user to "voice" his
instrument.
.PP
Main features of the default instrument: three manuals and one pedal,
five different temperaments, variable tuning, MIDI control of course,
stereo, surround or Ambisonics output, flexible audio controls
including a large church reverb.
