The numberOfChannels
property of the AudioBuffer
interface returns an integer representing the number of discrete audio channels described by the PCM data stored in the buffer.
Syntax
js;highlight[22]
Copy Code
var myArrayBuffer = audioCtx.createBuffer(2, frameCount, audioCtx.sampleRate); myArrayBuffer.numberOfChannels;
Value
An integer.
Example
js;highlight[22]
Copy Code
// Stereo var channels = 2; // Create an empty two second stereo buffer at the // sample rate of the AudioContext var frameCount = audioCtx.sampleRate * 2.0; var myArrayBuffer = audioCtx.createBuffer(2, frameCount, audioCtx.sampleRate); button.onclick = function() { // Fill the buffer with white noise; // just random values between -1.0 and 1.0 for (var channel = 0; channel < channels; channel++) { // This gives us the actual ArrayBuffer that contains the data var nowBuffering = myArrayBuffer.getChannelData(channel); for (var i = 0; i < frameCount; i++) { // Math.random() is in [0; 1.0] // audio needs to be in [-1.0; 1.0] nowBuffering[i] = Math.random() * 2 - 1; } } console.log(myArrayBuffer.numberOfChannels); }
