class OscillatorNode
package js.html.audio
extends AudioScheduledSourceNode › AudioNode › EventTarget
Available on js
The OscillatorNode
interface represents a periodic waveform, such as a sine wave. It is an AudioScheduledSourceNode
audio-processing module that causes a specified frequency of a given wave to be created—in effect, a constant tone.

Constructor
Variables
read onlydetune:AudioParam
An a-rate AudioParam
representing detuning of oscillation in cents (though the AudioParam` returned is read-only, the value it represents is not). The default value is 0.
read onlyfrequency:AudioParam
An a-rate AudioParam
representing the frequency of oscillation in hertz (though the AudioParam` returned is read-only, the value it represents is not). The default value is 440 Hz (a standard middle-A note).
type:OscillatorType
A string which specifies the shape of waveform to play; this can be one of a number of standard values, or custom
to use a PeriodicWave
to describe a custom waveform. Different waves will produce different tones. Standard values are "sine"
, "square"
, "sawtooth"
, "triangle"
and "custom"
. The default is "sine"
.
Methods
setPeriodicWave(periodicWave:PeriodicWave):Void
Sets a PeriodicWave
which describes a periodic waveform to be used instead of one of the standard waveforms; calling this sets the type
to custom
. This replaces the now-obsolete OscillatorNode.setWaveTable()
method.
