Karplus-String string synthesis.
const plucky = new Tone.PluckSynth().toDestination();
plucky.triggerAttack("C4", "+0.5");
plucky.triggerAttack("C3", "+1");
plucky.triggerAttack("C2", "+1.5");
plucky.triggerAttack("C1", "+2");The amount of noise at the attack. Nominal range of [0.1, 20]
Range: 0.1 to 20The number of seconds of 1 processing block (128 samples)
console.log(Tone.Destination.blockTime);
channelCount is the number of channels used when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is 2 except for specific nodes where its value is specially determined.
channelCountMode determines how channels will be counted when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is "max". This attribute has no effect for nodes with no inputs.
channelInterpretation determines how individual channels will be treated when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. The default value is "speakers".
The context belonging to the node.
The dampening control. i.e. the lowpass filter frequency of the comb filter
Range: 0 to 7000Set this debug flag to log all events that happen in this class.
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 instrument only has an output
The number of inputs feeding into the AudioNode. For source nodes, this will be 0.
const node = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(node.numberOfInputs);
The number of outputs of the AudioNode.
const node = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(node.numberOfOutputs);
The release time which corresponds to a resonance ramp down to 0
The amount of resonance of the pluck. Also correlates to the sustain duration.
The duration in seconds of one sample.
console.log(Tone.Transport.sampleTime);
The version number semver
The volume of the output in decibels.
const amSynth = new Tone.AMSynth().toDestination();
amSynth.volume.value = -6;
amSynth.triggerAttackRelease("G#3", 0.2);
Connect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in series.
const player = new Tone.Player("https://tonejs.github.io/audio/drum-samples/handdrum-loop.mp3");
player.autostart = true;
const filter = new Tone.AutoFilter(4).start();
const distortion = new Tone.Distortion(0.5);
// connect the player to the filter, distortion and then to the master output
player.chain(filter, distortion, Tone.Destination);
connect the output of a ToneAudioNode to an AudioParam, AudioNode, or ToneAudioNode
The output to connect from
The input to connect to
disconnect the output
connect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in parallel.
const player = new Tone.Player("https://tonejs.github.io/audio/drum-samples/conga-rhythm.mp3");
player.autostart = true;
const pitchShift = new Tone.PitchShift(4).toDestination();
const filter = new Tone.Filter("G5").toDestination();
// connect a node to the pitch shift and filter in parallel
player.fan(pitchShift, filter);
Get the object's attributes.
const osc = new Tone.Oscillator();
console.log(osc.get());
Returns all of the default options belonging to the class.
Return the current time of the Context clock without any lookAhead.
setInterval(() => {
console.log(Tone.immediate());
}, 100);
Return the current time of the Context clock plus the lookAhead.
setInterval(() => {
console.log(Tone.now());
}, 100);
Set multiple properties at once with an object.
const filter = new Tone.Filter().toDestination();
// set values using an object
filter.set({
frequency: "C6",
type: "highpass"
});
const player = new Tone.Player("https://tonejs.github.io/audio/berklee/Analogsynth_octaves_highmid.mp3").connect(filter);
player.autostart = true;
Sync the instrument to the Transport. All subsequent calls of triggerAttack and triggerRelease will be scheduled along the transport.
const fmSynth = new Tone.FMSynth().toDestination();
fmSynth.volume.value = -6;
fmSynth.sync();
// schedule 3 notes when the transport first starts
fmSynth.triggerAttackRelease("C4", "8n", 0);
fmSynth.triggerAttackRelease("E4", "8n", "8n");
fmSynth.triggerAttackRelease("G4", "8n", "4n");
// start the transport to hear the notes
Tone.Transport.start();
Connect the output to the context's destination node.
const osc = new Tone.Oscillator("C2").start();
osc.toDestination();
Convert the input to a frequency number
const gain = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(gain.toFrequency("4n"));
Connect the output to the context's destination node. See toDestination
Convert the incoming time to seconds. This is calculated against the current Tone.Transport bpm
const gain = new Tone.Gain();
setInterval(() => console.log(gain.toSeconds("4n")), 100);
// ramp the tempo to 60 bpm over 30 seconds
Tone.getTransport().bpm.rampTo(60, 30);
Convert the class to a string
const osc = new Tone.Oscillator();
console.log(osc.toString());
Convert the input time into ticks
const gain = new Tone.Gain();
console.log(gain.toTicks("4n"));
Trigger the attack and then the release after the duration.
const synth = new Tone.Synth().toDestination();
// trigger "C4" for the duration of an 8th note
synth.triggerAttackRelease("C4", "8n");
How long the note should be held for beforetriggering the release. This value must be greater than 0.
Ramp down the resonance to 0 over the duration of the release time.
Unsync the instrument from the Transport
