Synonyms

Audealize is capable of searching for synonyms and similar words when presented with an unknown descriptor.

To find synonyms, the node accesses a thesaurus service provided by http://words.bighugelabs.com. In order to use this functionality, the Audealize node must be provided with an API key. To get your API key, go to http://words.bighugelabs.com/getkey.php and create an account.

Once you have an API key, the Audealize node should be instantiated as follows:

var audealize = new Audealize(context, 'Your API Key');

Now, if eq_descriptor or reverb_descriptor are set with a word not in Audealize's dictionary, the node will attempt to find a synonym of the desired word that is in it's dictionary. If no synonyms are found, the desriptor will revert to its previous value.
