AudioBuffer

La interfaz AudioBuffer representa un pequeño recurso de audio que se almacena en memoria, creado a partir de un archivo de audio usando el método AudioContext.decodeAudioData() (en-US), o de datos en bruto con el método AudioContext.createBuffer() (en-US). Una véz cargado en AudioBuffer, el audio puede ser reproducido pasandolo en el método AudioBufferSourceNode (en-US).

Objetos de este tipo son diseñados para almacenar pequeños trozos de audio, normalmente menos de 45 segundos. Para audios más extensos, los objectos implementan MediaElementAudioSourceNode (en-US) que es más adecuado. El buffer contiene data en el siguiente formado: non-interleaved IEEE754 32-bit linear PCM with a nominal range between -1 and +1, that is, 32bits floating point buffer, with each samples between -1.0 and 1.0. If the AudioBuffer has multiple channels, they are stored in separate buffer.

Constructor

AudioBuffer() (en-US): Crea y retorna una nueva instancia de AudioBuffer

Propiedades

AudioBuffer.sampleRate (en-US) Read only: Returns a float representing the sample rate, in samples per second, of the PCM data stored in the buffer.
AudioBuffer.length (en-US) Read only: Returns an integer representing the length, in sample-frames, of the PCM data stored in the buffer.
AudioBuffer.duration (en-US) Read only: Returns a double representing the duration, in seconds, of the PCM data stored in the buffer.
AudioBuffer.numberOfChannels (en-US) Read only: Returns an integer representing the number of discrete audio channels described by the PCM data stored in the buffer.

Métodos

AudioBuffer.getChannelData() (en-US): Returns a Float32Array (en-US) containing the PCM data associated with the channel, defined by the channel parameter (with 0 representing the first channel).
AudioBuffer.copyFromChannel() (en-US): Copies the samples from the specified channel of the AudioBuffer to the destination array.
AudioBuffer.copyToChannel() (en-US): Copies the samples to the specified channel of the AudioBuffer, from the source array.

Ejemplo

El siguiente ejemplo muestra como se crea un AudioBuffer y rellena con un sonido blanco aleatorio. Puedes encontrar el código completo en nuestro repositorio: webaudio-examples; y una versión disponible: running live

var audioCtx = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)();

// Create an empty three-second stereo buffer at the sample rate of the AudioContext
var myArrayBuffer = audioCtx.createBuffer(2, audioCtx.sampleRate * 3, audioCtx.sampleRate);

// Fill the buffer with white noise;
// just random values between -1.0 and 1.0
for (var channel = 0; channel < myArrayBuffer.numberOfChannels; channel++) {
  // This gives us the actual array that contains the data
  var nowBuffering = myArrayBuffer.getChannelData(channel);
  for (var i = 0; i < myArrayBuffer.length; i++) {
    // Math.random() is in [0; 1.0]
    // audio needs to be in [-1.0; 1.0]
    nowBuffering[i] = Math.random() * 2 - 1;
  }
}

// Get an AudioBufferSourceNode.
// This is the AudioNode to use when we want to play an AudioBuffer
var source = audioCtx.createBufferSource();

// set the buffer in the AudioBufferSourceNode
source.buffer = myArrayBuffer;

// connect the AudioBufferSourceNode to the
// destination so we can hear the sound
source.connect(audioCtx.destination);

// start the source playing
source.start();
