WaveShaperNode()

The WaveShaperNode() constructor of the Web Audio API creates a new WaveShaperNode object which is an AudioNode that represents a non-linear distorter.

Syntax

new WaveShaperNode(context, options)

Parameters

context

A reference to an AudioContext.

options Optional

Options are as follows:

  • curve: The shaping curve used for the waveshaping effect. The input signal is nominally within the range [-1;1].
  • oversample: Specifies what type of oversampling (if any) should be used when applying the shaping curve. Valid values are 'none', '2x', or '4x'. The default is 'none'.
  • channelCount: Represents an integer used to determine how many channels are used when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. (See AudioNode.channelCount for more information.) Its usage and precise definition depend on the value of channelCountMode.
  • channelCountMode: Represents an enumerated value describing the way channels must be matched between the node's inputs and outputs. (See AudioNode.channelCountMode for more information including default values.)
  • channelInterpretation: Represents an enumerated value describing the meaning of the channels. This interpretation will define how audio up-mixing and down-mixing will happen. The possible values are "speakers" or "discrete". (See AudioNode.channelCountMode for more information including default values.)

Return value

A new WaveShaperNode object instance.
