Documentation

first steps (anachronsism)

  1. with anachronism running, drop metonymy.satellite.amxd anywhere in your set.
  2. get a loop going in anachronsim. press the first location key on the grid. the loop will start playing out of metonymy. record a sound into metonymy, then hit the location key again do send it back to anachronism.
  3. place metonymy after anachronism. use anachronism as a looper, and send loops to metonymy to act like delays. metonymy can hold up to four loops.
  4. set up an effects chain going into anachronism, then place metonymy before the chain. create loops and feed them back through the chain, relooping endlessly.
  5. the yellow squares determine which location metonymy responds to. use two instances of metonymy for two locations.

Thanks for all your work, nice stuff! How have you come up with all Greek names?

:slight_smile: didn’t know they were poetic words! (I am from Athens!)

Ahah poetic (and moreover litterature) terminology in general is very greek oriented in most latin languages, as is the case for medical terms, which always makes having an ancient greek background very handy in these two cases ! (and absolutely of 0 use most other times but damn ancient greek is beautiful)

basically: I was taking a poetry class around the time I started designing these

had no idea these were all greek tho (but it makes sense). very curious how they translate from ancient greek vs. their poetic meanings
