Optional options: RecursivePartial<MetalSynthOptions>Readonly contextThe context belonging to the node.
Set this debug flag to log all events that happen in this class.
Readonly detuneThe detune applied to the oscillators
Readonly envelopeThe envelope which is connected both to the amplitude and a highpass filter's cutoff frequency. The lower-limit of the filter is controlled by the resonance
Readonly frequencyThe frequency of the cymbal
The instrument only has an output
Readonly nameInvoked when the release has finished and the output is silent.
The glide time between notes.
The volume of the output in decibels.
const amSynth = new Tone.AMSynth().toDestination();
amSynth.volume.value = -6;
amSynth.triggerAttackRelease("G#3", 0.2);
Static versionThe version number semver
The 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".
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 harmonicity of the oscillators which make up the source. see Tone.FMOscillator.harmonicity
0.1
10
The modulationIndex of the oscillators which make up the source. see FMOscillator.modulationIndex
1
100
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 number of octaves above the "resonance" frequency that the filter ramps during the attack/decay envelope
0
8
The duration in seconds of one sample.
Connect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in series.
Rest ...nodes: InputNode[]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 to
The output to connect from

Optional destination: InputNodeconnect the output of this node to the rest of the nodes in parallel.
Rest ...nodes: InputNode[]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());
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;
Set the note at the given time. If no time is given, the note will set immediately.
The note to change to.
Optional time: Unit.TimeThe time when the note should be set.
const synth = new Tone.Synth().toDestination();
synth.triggerAttack("C4");
// change to F#6 in one quarter note from now.
synth.setNote("F#6", "+4n");
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();
Convert the incoming time to seconds. This is calculated against the current TransportClass 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);
Trigger the attack of the note optionally with a given velocity.
The note to trigger.
Optional time: Unit.TimeWhen the note should start.
The velocity determines how "loud" the note will be.
const synth = new Tone.Synth().toDestination();
// trigger the note a half second from now at half velocity
synth.triggerAttack("C4", "+0.5", 0.5);
Static get
A highly inharmonic and spectrally complex source with a highpass filter and amplitude envelope which is good for making metallophone sounds. Based on CymbalSynth by @polyrhythmatic.
