TimeClass is a primitive type for encoding and decoding Time values. TimeClass can be passed into the parameter of any method which takes time as an argument.
const time = Tone.Time("4n"); // a quarter note
The context associated with the time value. Used to computeTransport and context-relative timing.
Unit values
Set this debug flag to log all events that happen in this class.
The default units
Indicates if the instance was disposed. 'Disposing' an instance means that all of the Web Audio nodes that were created for the instance are disconnected and freed for garbage collection.
The version number semver
disconnect and dispose.
Coerce a time type into this units type.
Returns all of the default options belonging to the class.
Quantize the time by the given subdivision. Optionally add a percentage which will move the time value towards the ideal quantized value by that percentage.
Tone.Time(21).quantize(2); // returns 22
Tone.Time(0.6).quantize("4n", 0.5); // returns 0.55
Move the time value towards the quantized value by a percentage.
Return the time encoded as Bars:Beats:Sixteenths.
Return the value in hertz
Return the time in milliseconds.
Convert a Time to Notation. The notation values are will be the closest representation between 1m to 128th note.
// if the Transport is at 120bpm:
Tone.Time(2).toNotation(); // returns "1m"
Return the time in samples
Convert the class to a string
const osc = new Tone.Oscillator();
console.log(osc.toString());
Evaluate the time value. Returns the time in seconds.
