Syntax
js
copyFromChannel(destination, channelNumber, startInChannel)
Parameters
-
destination -
A
Float32Arrayto copy the channel's samples to. -

AudioBufferto copy the channel data from. startInChannelOptional-
An optional offset into the source channel's buffer from which to begin copying samples. If not specified, a value of 0 (the beginning of the buffer) is assumed by default.

One of the input parameters has a value that is outside the accepted range:
- The value of
channelNumberspecifies a channel number which doesn't exist (that is, it's greater than or equal to the value ofnumberOfChannelson the channel). - The value of
startInChannelis outside the current range of samples that already exist in the source buffer; that is, it's greater than its currentlength.
- The value of
Examples
This example creates a new audio buffer, then copies the samples from another channel into it.
js
const myArrayBuffer = audioCtx.createBuffer(2, frameCount, audioCtx.sampleRate);
const anotherArray = new Float32Array(length);
myArrayBuffer.copyFromChannel(anotherArray, 1, 0);
