DelayNode
The DelayNode
interface represents a delay-line; an AudioNode
audio-processing module that causes a delay between the arrival of an input data and its propagation to the output. A DelayNode
always has exactly one input and one output, both with the same amount of channels.
When creating a graph that has a cycle, it is mandatory to have at least one DelayNode
in the cycle, or the nodes taking part in the cycle will be muted.
Number of inputs | 1 |
---|---|
Number of outputs | 1 |
Channel count mode | "max" |
Channel count | 2 (not used in the default count mode) |
Channel interpretation | "speakers" |
Properties
Inherits properties from its parent, AudioNode
.
DelayNode.delayTime
Read only- Is an a-rate
AudioParam
representing the amount of delay to apply.
Methods
No specific methods; inherits methods from its parent, AudioNode
.
Example
We have created a simple example that allows you to play three different samples on a constant loop — see create-delay (you can also view the source code). If you just press the play buttons, the loops will start immediately; if you slide the sliders up to the right, then press the play buttons, a delay will be introduced, so the looping sounds don't start playing for a short amount of time.
var AudioContext = window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext; var audioCtx = new AudioContext(); var synthDelay = audioCtx.createDelay(5.0); ... var synthSource; playSynth.onclick = function() { synthSource = audioCtx.createBufferSource(); synthSource.buffer = buffers[2]; synthSource.loop = true; synthSource.start(); synthSource.connect(synthDelay); synthDelay.connect(destination); this.setAttribute('disabled', 'disabled'); } stopSynth.onclick = function() { synthSource.disconnect(synthDelay); synthDelay.disconnect(destination); synthSource.stop(); playSynth.removeAttribute('disabled'); } ... var delay1; rangeSynth.oninput = function() { delay1 = rangeSynth.value; synthDelay.delayTime.value = delay1; }
