Class DCMeter

DCMeter gets the raw value of the input signal at the current time.

See

Meter.

Example

const meter = new Tone.DCMeter();
const mic = new Tone.UserMedia();
mic.open();
// connect mic to the meter
mic.connect(meter);
// the current level of the mic
const level = meter.getValue();

Accessors

blockTime

  • get blockTime(): number

  • The number of seconds of 1 processing block (128 samples)

    Returns number

    Example

    console.log(Tone.Destination.blockTime);

channelCount

  • get channelCount(): number

  • 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.

    Returns number

  • set channelCount(channelCount): void

  • Parameters

    • channelCount: number

    Returns void

channelCountMode

  • get channelCountMode(): ChannelCountMode

  • 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.

    • "max" - computedNumberOfChannels is the maximum of the number of channels of all connections to an input. In this mode channelCount is ignored.
    • "clamped-max" - computedNumberOfChannels is determined as for "max" and then clamped to a maximum value of the given channelCount.
    • "explicit" - computedNumberOfChannels is the exact value as specified by the channelCount.

    Returns ChannelCountMode

  • set channelCountMode(channelCountMode): void

  • Parameters

    • channelCountMode: ChannelCountMode

    Returns void

channelInterpretation

  • get channelInterpretation(): ChannelInterpretation

  • 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".

    Returns ChannelInterpretation

  • set channelInterpretation(channelInterpretation): void

  • Parameters

    • channelInterpretation: ChannelInterpretation

    Returns void

disposed

  • get disposed(): boolean

  • 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.

    Returns boolean

numberOfInputs

  • get numberOfInputs(): number

  • The number of inputs feeding into the AudioNode. For source nodes, this will be 0.

    Returns number

    Example

    const node = new Tone.Gain();
    console.log(node.numberOfInputs);

numberOfOutputs

  • get numberOfOutputs(): number

  • The number of outputs of the AudioNode.

    Returns number

    Example

    const node = new Tone.Gain();
    console.log(node.numberOfOutputs);

sampleTime

Methods

chain

  • chain(...nodes): this

  • Connect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in series.

    Parameters

    Returns this

    Example

    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

  • connect(destination, outputNum?, inputNum?): this

  • connect the output of a ToneAudioNode to an AudioParam, AudioNode, or ToneAudioNode

    Parameters

    • destination: InputNode

      The output to connect to

    • outputNum: number = 0

      The output to connect from

    • inputNum: number = 0

      The input to connect to

    Returns this

disconnect

  • disconnect(destination?, outputNum?, inputNum?): this

  • disconnect the output

    Parameters

    • Optional destination: InputNode
    • outputNum: number = 0
    • inputNum: number = 0

    Returns this

dispose

fan

  • fan(...nodes): this

  • connect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in parallel.

    Parameters

    Returns this

    Example

    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

  • get(): ToneWithContextOptions

  • Get the object's attributes.

    Returns ToneWithContextOptions

    Example

    const osc = new Tone.Oscillator();
    console.log(osc.get());

getValue

immediate

  • immediate(): number

  • Return the current time of the Context clock without any lookAhead.

    Returns number

    Example

    setInterval(() => {
        console.log(Tone.immediate());
    }, 100);

now

  • now(): number

  • Return the current time of the Context clock plus the lookAhead.

    Returns number

    Example

    setInterval(() => {
        console.log(Tone.now());
    }, 100);

set

  • set(props): this

  • Set multiple properties at once with an object.

    Parameters

    • props: RecursivePartial<ToneWithContextOptions>

    Returns this

    Example

    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;

toDestination

  • toDestination(): this

  • Connect the output to the context's destination node.

    Returns this

    Example

    const osc = new Tone.Oscillator("C2").start();
    osc.toDestination();

toFrequency

  • toFrequency(freq): number

    setInterval(() => console.log(gain.toSeconds("4n")), 100);
    // ramp the tempo to 60 bpm over 30 seconds
    Tone.getTransport().bpm.rampTo(60, 30);
