Aeolus is equal-tempered by default, but you can readily change it.

I've heard that before equal temperament arrived, there were very real

differences between different keys, so that a piece written in C major

would not sound harmonically the same as the same piece played in A

major. That since equal temperament was adopted, there's less

character/difference between the different keys.
Now it's just a matter of transposing and you get the same thing, only

higher or lower ...
