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 ...
