BaseAudioContext class abstract

The BaseAudioContext of the Web Audio API acts as a base definition for online and offline audio-processing graphs, as represented by AudioContext and OfflineAudioContext respectively. You wouldn't use BaseAudioContext directly — you'd use its features via one of these two inheriting interfaces.

A BaseAudioContext can be a target of events, therefore it implements the EventTarget interface.

BaseAudioContext()

Properties

audioWorklet → AudioWorklet
The audioWorklet read-only property of the BaseAudioContext returns an instance of AudioWorklet that can be used for adding AudioWorkletProcessor-derived classes which implement custom audio processing.
no setter
currentTime → TauTime
The currentTime read-only property of the BaseAudioContext returns a double representing an ever-increasing hardware timestamp in seconds that can be used for scheduling audio playback, visualizing timelines, etc. It starts at 0.
no setter
destination → AudioDestinationNode
The destination property of the BaseAudioContext returns an AudioDestinationNode representing the final destination of all audio in the context. It often represents an actual audio-rendering device such as your device's speakers.
no setter
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
listener → AudioListener
The listener property of the BaseAudioContext interface returns an AudioListener object that can then be used for implementing 3D audio spatialization.
no setter
onstatechange ↔ EventHandler
getter/setter pair
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
sampleRate → TauSampleRate
The sampleRate property of the BaseAudioContext returns a floating point number representing the sample rate, in samples per second, used by all nodes in this audio context. This limitation means that sample-rate converters are not supported.
no setter
state → AudioContextState
The state read-only property of the BaseAudioContext returns the current state of the AudioContext.
no setter

Methods

createAnalyser() → AnalyserNode
The createAnalyser() method of the BaseAudioContext creates an AnalyserNode, which can be used to expose audio time and frequency data and create data visualizations.
createBiquadFilter() → BiquadFilterNode
The createBiquadFilter() method of the BaseAudioContext creates a BiquadFilterNode, which represents a second order filter configurable as several different common filter types.
createBuffer(int numberOfChannels, int length, TauSampleRate sampleRate) → AudioBuffer
The createBuffer() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to create a new, empty AudioBuffer object, which can then be populated by data, and played via an AudioBufferSourceNode.
createBufferSource() → AudioBufferSourceNode
The createBufferSource() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to create a new AudioBufferSourceNode, which can be used to play audio data contained within an AudioBuffer object. AudioBuffers are created using BaseAudioContext.createBuffer or returned by BaseAudioContext.decodeAudioData when it successfully decodes an audio track.
createChannelMerger([int numberOfInputs]) → ChannelMergerNode
The createChannelMerger() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a ChannelMergerNode, which combines channels from multiple audio streams into a single audio stream.
createChannelSplitter([int numberOfOutputs]) → ChannelSplitterNode
The createChannelSplitter() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a ChannelSplitterNode, which is used to access the individual channels of an audio stream and process them separately.
createConstantSource() → ConstantSourceNode
The createConstantSource() property of the BaseAudioContext creates a ConstantSourceNode object, which is an audio source that continuously outputs a monaural (one-channel) sound signal whose samples all have the same value.
createConvolver() → ConvolverNode
The createConvolver() method of the BaseAudioContext creates a ConvolverNode, which is commonly used to apply reverb effects to your audio. See the spec definition of Convolution for more information.
createDelay([TauTime maxDelayTime]) → DelayNode
The createDelay() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to create a DelayNode, which is used to delay the incoming audio signal by a certain amount of time.
createDynamicsCompressor() → DynamicsCompressorNode
The createDynamicsCompressor() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to create a DynamicsCompressorNode, which can be used to apply compression to an audio signal.
createGain() → GainNode
The createGain() method of the BaseAudioContext creates a GainNode, which can be used to control the overall gain (or volume) of the audio graph.
createIIRFilter(TauArray<TauNumber> feedforward, TauArray<TauNumber> feedback) → IIRFilterNode
The createIIRFilter() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates an IIRFilterNode, which represents a general infinite impulse response (IIR) filter which can be configured to serve as various types of filter.
createOscillator() → OscillatorNode
The createOscillator() method of the BaseAudioContext creates an OscillatorNode, a source representing a periodic waveform. It basically generates a constant tone.
createPanner() → PannerNode
The createPanner() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to create a new PannerNode, which is used to spatialize an incoming audio stream in 3D space.
createPeriodicWave(TauArray<TauNumber> real, TauArray<TauNumber> imag, [PeriodicWaveConstraints constraints]) → PeriodicWave
The createPeriodicWave() method of the BaseAudioContext Interface is used to create a PeriodicWave, which is used to define a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the output of an OscillatorNode.
createScriptProcessor([int bufferSize, int numberOfInputChannels, int numberOfOutputChannels]) → ScriptProcessorNode
The createScriptProcessor() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a ScriptProcessorNode used for direct audio processing.
createStereoPanner() → StereoPannerNode
The createStereoPanner() method of the BaseAudioContext interface creates a StereoPannerNode, which can be used to apply stereo panning to an audio source. It positions an incoming audio stream in a stereo image using a low-cost panning algorithm.
createWaveShaper() → WaveShaperNode
The createWaveShaper() method of the BaseAudioContext creates a WaveShaperNode, which represents a non-linear distortion. It is used to apply distortion effects to your audio.
decodeAudioData(TauArrayBuffer audioData, [DecodeSuccessCallback? successCallback, DecodeErrorCallback? errorCallback]) → TauPromise<AudioBuffer>
The decodeAudioData() method of the BaseAudioContext is used to asynchronously decode audio file data contained in an ArrayBuffer that is loaded from fetch, XMLHttpRequest, or FileReader. The decoded AudioBuffer is resampled to the AudioContext's sampling rate, then passed to a callback or promise.
dispose() → void
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.
