WaveShaperNode

The WaveShaperNode interface represents non-linear signal distortion effects. Non-linear distortion is commonly used for both subtle non-linear warming, or more obvious distortion effects.

AudioNode properties

Number of inputs	1
Number of outputs	1
Channel count	2
Channel count mode	clamped-max
Channel interpretation	speakers

Constructor

BaseAudioContext.createWaveShaper()

Properties

It inherits all properties from AudioNode.

Name	Type	Description
curve	Float32Array | null	The shaping curve used for waveshaping effect.
oversample	OverSampleType	Specifies what type of oversampling should be used when applying shaping curve.

Methods

WaveShaperNode does not define any additional methods. It inherits all methods from AudioNode.

Remarks

curve

• Default value is null
• Contains at least two values.
• Subsequent modifications of curve have no effects. To change the curve, assign a new Float32Array object to this property.

oversample

• Default value none
• Value of 2x or 4x can increases quality of the effect, but in some cases it is better not to use oversampling for very accurate shaping curve.

OverSampleType

Type definitions

// Do not oversample | Oversample two times | Oversample four times
type OverSampleType = 'none' | '2x' | '4x';
