Tone.Subtract

↳ EXTENDS Tone.Signal

Subtract the signal connected to input[1] from the signal connected to input[0]. If an argument is provided in the constructor, the signals .value will be subtracted from the incoming signal.

CONSTRUCTOR

new Tone.Subtract ( [
value
] )
value

The value to subtract from the incoming signal. If the value is omitted, it will subtract the second signal from the first.

type: number
optional

EXAMPLE

var sub = new Tone.Subtract(1);
var sig = new Tone.Signal(4).connect(sub);
//the output of sub is 3. 
 

EXAMPLE

var sub = new Tone.Subtract();
var sigA = new Tone.Signal(10);
var sigB = new Tone.Signal(2.5);
sigA.connect(sub, 0, 0);
sigB.connect(sub, 0, 1);
//output of sub is 7.5

↪ returns Tone.AudioNode

this

disconnect the output

</>
inherited from Tone.AudioNode

.toMaster ( )

#
↪ returns Tone.AudioNode

this

Connect ‘this’ to the master output. Shorthand for this.connect(Tone.Master)

EXAMPLE

//connect an oscillator to the master output
var osc = new Tone.Oscillator().toMaster();
</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.getTimeConstant ( )

#
time

The time to convert

type: Time
↪ returns Number

The time constant to get an exponentially approaching curve to over 99% of towards the target value.

Convert between Time and time constant. The time constant returned can be used in setTargetAtTime.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.cancelAndHoldAtTime ( )

#
cancelTime
type: Time
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

This is similar to cancelScheduledValues except it holds the automated value at cancelTime until the next automated event.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.linearRampToValueAtTime ( )

#
value
type: number
endTime
type: Time
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Schedules a linear continuous change in parameter value from the previous scheduled parameter value to the given value.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.rampTo ( )

#
value
type: number
rampTime

The time that it takes the value to ramp from it’s current value

type: Time
startTime

When the ramp should start.

type: Time
default: now
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Ramps to the given value over the duration of the rampTime. Automatically selects the best ramp type (exponential or linear) depending on the units of the signal

EXAMPLE

//ramp to the value either linearly or exponentially
//depending on the "units" value of the signal
signal.rampTo(0, 10);
 

EXAMPLE

//schedule it to ramp starting at a specific time
signal.rampTo(0, 10, 5)
</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.setRampPoint ( )

#
now

(Optionally) pass the now value in.

type: number
optional
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Creates a schedule point with the current value at the current time. This is useful for creating an automation anchor point in order to schedule changes from the current value.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.setTargetAtTime ( )

#
value
type: number
startTime
type: Time
timeConstant
type: number
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Start exponentially approaching the target value at the given time with a rate having the given time constant.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.setValueAtTime ( )

#
value

The value to set the signal.

type: *
time

The time when the change should occur.

type: Time
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Schedules a parameter value change at the given time.

EXAMPLE

//set the frequency to "G4" in exactly 1 second from now.
freq.setValueAtTime("G4", "+1");
</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.setValueCurveAtTime ( )

values
type: Array
startTime
type: Time
duration
type: Time
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Sets an array of arbitrary parameter values starting at the given time for the given duration.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.targetRampTo ( )

#
value

The value to ramp to.

type: number
rampTime

the time that it takes the value to ramp from it’s current value

type: Time
startTime

When the ramp should start.

type: Time
default: now
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Start exponentially approaching the target value at the given time. Since it is an exponential approach it will continue approaching after the ramp duration. The rampTime is the time that it takes to reach over 99% of the way towards the value.

EXAMPLE

//exponentially ramp to the value 2 over 4 seconds.
signal.exponentialRampTo(2, 4);
</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.linearRampTo ( )

#

The value to ramp to.

type: number
rampTime

the time that it takes the value to ramp from it’s current value

type: Time
startTime

When the ramp should start.

type: Time
default: now
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Schedules an linear continuous change in parameter value from the current time and current value to the given value over the duration of the rampTime.

EXAMPLE

//linearly ramp to the value 4 over 3 seconds.
signal.linearRampTo(4, 3);
</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.cancelScheduledValues ( )

#
startTime
type: Time
↪ returns Tone.Param

this

Cancels all scheduled parameter changes with times greater than or equal to startTime.

</>
inherited from Tone.Param

.exponentialRampTo ( )

#
value

The value to ramp to.

type: number
rampTime

the time that it takes the value to ramp from it’s current value

type: Time
