BaseAudioContext: createChannelMerger() method
The createChannelMerger()
method of the BaseAudioContext
interface creates a ChannelMergerNode
, which combines channels from multiple audio streams into a single audio stream.
Syntax
createChannelMerger(numberOfInputs)
Parameters
-
numberOfInputs
-
The number of channels in the input audio streams, which the output stream will contain; the default is 6 if this parameter is not specified.
Return value
Examples
The following example shows how you could separate a stereo track (say, a piece of music), and process the left and right channel differently. To use them, you need to use the second and third parameters of the AudioNode.connect(AudioNode)
method, which allow you to specify both the index of the channel to connect from and the index of the channel to connect to.
const ac = new AudioContext();
ac.decodeAudioData(someStereoBuffer, (data) => {
const source = ac.createBufferSource();
source.buffer = data;
const splitter = ac.createChannelSplitter(2);
source.connect(splitter);
const merger = ac.createChannelMerger(2);
const gainNode = ac.createGain();
gainNode.gain.setValueAtTime(0.5, ac.currentTime);
splitter.connect(gainNode, 0);
gainNode.connect(merger, 0, 1);
splitter.connect(merger, 1, 0);
const dest = ac.createMediaStreamDestination();
merger.connect(dest);
});
