AudioParam.setValueCurveAtTime()

Syntax

var AudioParam = AudioParam.setValueCurveAtTime(values, startTime, duration)

Parameters

values

A Float32Array representing the value curve the AudioParam will change through along the duration. Every value in the array must be a finite number; if any value is NaN, Infinity, or -Infinity, a TypeError exception is thrown.

startTime

A double representing the time (in seconds) after the AudioContext was first created that the change in value will happen.

duration

A double representing the time (in seconds) the values will be changed between. The values are spaced equally along this duration.

Return value

A reference to this AudioParam object. In some browsers older implementations of this interface return void.

Exceptions

TypeError

One or more of the values in the values array is non-finite. Non-finite values are NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity.

Examples

In this example, we have a media source with a single button (see the audio-param repo for the source code, or view the example live.) When this button is pressed, setValueCurveAtTime() is used to change the gain value between the values contained in the waveArray array:

// create audio context
var AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext;
var audioCtx = new AudioContext();
// set basic variables for example
var myAudio = document.querySelector('audio');
var pre = document.querySelector('pre');
var myScript = document.querySelector('script');
pre.innerHTML = myScript.innerHTML;
var valueCurve = document.querySelector('.value-curve');
// Create a MediaElementAudioSourceNode
// Feed the HTMLMediaElement into it
var source = audioCtx.createMediaElementSource(myAudio);
// Create a gain node and set it's gain value to 0.5
var gainNode = audioCtx.createGain();
gainNode.gain.value = 0.5;
var currGain = gainNode.gain.value;
// connect the AudioBufferSourceNode to the gainNode
// and the gainNode to the destination
source.connect(gainNode);
gainNode.connect(audioCtx.destination);
// set button to do something onclick
var waveArray = new Float32Array(9);
waveArray[0] = 0.5;
waveArray[1] = 1;
waveArray[2] = 0.5;
waveArray[3] = 0;
waveArray[4] = 0.5;
waveArray[5] = 1;
waveArray[6] = 0.5;
waveArray[7] = 0;
waveArray[8] = 0.5;
valueCurve.onclick = function() {
  gainNode.gain.setValueCurveAtTime(waveArray, audioCtx.currentTime, 2);
}
