GainNode()

The GainNode() constructor of the Web Audio API creates a new GainNode object which is an AudioNode that represents a change in volume.

Syntax

var gainNode = new GainNode(context, options)

Parameters

context

A reference to a BaseAudioContext, e.g. an AudioContext.

options Optional

Options are as follows:

• gain: The amount of gain to apply. This parameter is a-rate and it's nominal range is (-∞,+∞). The default is 1.
• channelCount: Represents an integer used to determine how many channels are used when up-mixing and down-mixing connections to any inputs to the node. (See AudioNode.channelCount for more information.) Its usage and precise definition depend on the value of channelCountMode.
• channelCountMode: Represents an enumerated value describing the way channels must be matched between the node's inputs and outputs. (See AudioNode.channelCountMode for more information including default values.)
• channelInterpretation: Represents an enumerated value describing the meaning of the channels. This interpretation will define how audio up-mixing and down-mixing will happen. The possible values are "speakers" or "discrete". (See AudioNode.channelCountMode for more information including default values.)

Return value

A new GainNode object instance.
