WaveShaperNode()

This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

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

Syntax

var new waveShaperNode = 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'.
