PeriodicWave

{{ APIRef("Web Audio API") }}

The PeriodicWave interface defines a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the output of an {{domxref("OscillatorNode")}}.

PeriodicWave has no inputs or outputs; it is used to define custom oscillators when calling {{domxref("OscillatorNode.setPeriodicWave()")}}. The PeriodicWave itself is created/returned by {{domxref("BaseAudioContext.createPeriodicWave")}}.

Constructor

• {{domxref("PeriodicWave.PeriodicWave", "PeriodicWave()")}}
  • : Creates a new PeriodicWave object instance using the default values for all properties. If you wish to establish custom property values at the outset, use the {{domxref("BaseAudioContext.createPeriodicWave")}} factory method instead.

Instance properties

None; also, PeriodicWave doesn't inherit any properties.

Instance methods
