Tone.MembraneSynth
↳ EXTENDS Tone.InstrumentTone.MembraneSynth makes kick and tom sounds using a single oscillator with an amplitude envelope and frequency ramp. A Tone.OmniOscillator is routed through a Tone.AmplitudeEnvelope to the output. The drum quality of the sound comes from the frequency envelope applied during Tone.MembraneSynth.triggerAttack(note). The frequency envelope starts at note * .octaves and ramps to note over the duration of .pitchDecay.
CONSTRUCTOR
new Tone.MembraneSynth ( [the options available for the synth see defaults below
DEFAULTS
EXAMPLE
var synth = new Tone.MembraneSynth().toMaster();
synth.triggerAttackRelease("C2", "8n");Members
.numberOfInputs
↝ Number READONLY #The number of inputs feeding into the AudioNode. For source nodes, this will be 0.
.numberOfOutputs
↝ Number READONLY #The number of outputs coming out of the AudioNode.
.channelCount
↝ Number READONLY #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
↝ String READONLY #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
↝ String READONLY #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”.
.context
↝ Tone.Context READONLY #Get the audio context belonging to this instance.
.volume
↝ Decibels #The volume of the output in decibels.
EXAMPLE
source.volume.value = -6;Methods
.triggerRelease ( )
#the time the note will release
this
Trigger the release portion of the note.
.triggerAttack ( )
#the note
the time, if not given is now
velocity defaults to 1
this
Trigger the note at the given time with the given velocity.
EXAMPLE
kick.triggerAttack(60);.connect ( )
#optionally which output to connect from
optionally which input to connect to
this
connect the output of a ToneNode to an AudioParam, AudioNode, or ToneNode
.disconnect ( )
#Either the output index to disconnect if the output is an array, or the node to disconnect from.
this
disconnect the output
.toMaster ( )
#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();.triggerAttackRelease ( )
#The note to trigger.
How long the note should be held for before triggering the release. This value must be greater than 0.
When the note should be triggered.
The velocity the note should be triggered at.
this
Trigger the attack and then the release after the duration.
EXAMPLE
//trigger "C4" for the duration of an 8th note
synth.triggerAttackRelease("C4", "8n");.sync ( )
#this
Sync the instrument to the Transport. All subsequent calls of triggerAttack and triggerRelease will be scheduled along the transport.
EXAMPLE
instrument.sync()
//schedule 3 notes when the transport first starts
instrument.triggerAttackRelease('C4', '8n', 0)
instrument.triggerAttackRelease('E4', '8n', '8n')
instrument.triggerAttackRelease('G4', '8n', '4n')
//start the transport to hear the notes
Transport.start().unsync ( )
#this
Unsync the instrument from the Transport
