Hi Fernando, First of all, if you package Aeolus and Jaaa please use the most recent versions that I released only yesterday evening (libclthreads-0.0.3 and jaaa-0.1.1).

The current version comes with no defined presets, but you can easily create your own. There are 10 banks of 100 presets. Click on [Memory] and you'll see something like [<][>] a:b c [<][>] and some other buttons. a = memory bank # 0..9 b = preset #, 0..99 c = U, *, L, S U = undefined (empty) * = defined L = loaded S = stored [Store] will save the current registration into to the selected preset, and [Recall] loads the selected preset. [Insert] moves up the selected preset and all the following ones one place up, and stores the current registration. Finally [Delete] deletes the selected preset, and all the following ones move one place down. [Next] is the same ++b [Recall] and [Prev] is the same as --b [Recall]. You can also use the normal Midi control messages (if the channel is enabled in the bottom row of the Midi matrix) to load presets. If you have a full piano keyboard, then the C and D in the octave below the lowest one used by Aeolus (i.e. note # 24 and 26) will do the same as [Prev] and [Next]. To save your presets for later use, click [Save]. This will also save the Midi routing and any changes to the disposition. The file $AEOLUS_DIR/aeolusrc' must be writeable for [Save] to work. This is one reason to put the stops directory in the user's home dir, and not in one of the standard lib directories. The [Preset] button works as follows: while it is 'on', changing the registration has no effect until [Preset] is switched off again. This allows your registration assistant to prepare a new registration and then switch to it :-) (So I've finally started to write a manual...) Enjoy ! -- Fons
