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 OscillatorNode() constructor creates a new OscillatorNode object which is an AudioNode that represents a periodic waveform, like a sine wave, optionally setting the node's properties' values to match values in a specified object.
If the default values of the properties are acceptable, you can optionally use the AudioContext.createOscillator() factory method instead.
Syntax
var oscillatorNode = new OscillatorNode(context, options)
Parameters
context- A reference to an
AudioContext. optionsOptional- An object whose properties specify the initial values for the oscillator node's properties. Any properties omitted from the object will take on the default value as documented.
type- The shape of the wave produced by the node. Valid values are '
sine', 'square', 'sawtooth', 'triangle' and 'custom'. The default is 'sine'. detune- A detuning value (in cents) which will offset the
frequencyby the given amount. Its default is 0. frequency- The frequency (in hertz) of the periodic waveform. Its default is 440.
periodicWave- An arbitrary period waveform described by a
PeriodicWaveobject.
