howler-plugin-effect-chain
Adds an audio effect chain to Howler. Suitable as bridge between Howler and web audio libraries such as Tuna.
It works by injecting a chain of nodes between Sound
s and the Howler.masterGain
:
Sound._node -> Howler._effectChain -> [Added effects] -> Howler._effectChainOut -> Howler.masterGain
Installation
Via npm
First, install it.
npm i -S howler-plugin-effect-chain
Now import it.
// ES6 imports
import { Howler, Howl } from 'howler'
import 'howler-plugin-effect-chain'
// CommonJS imports
var howler = require('howler')
require('howler-plugin-effect-chain')
Via script tag
Save src/index.js
as howler-plugin-effect-chain.js
(or whatever you want to call it) and add a <script>
tag after the core Howler library.
<script src="howler.min.js"></script>
<script src="howler-plugin-effect-chain.js"></script>
API
Howler.addEffect(effect)
Adds an effect to the effect chain. The effect object must function like an AudioNode
, exposing a connect
and disconnect
method.
Here's an example using the Tuna library.
import { Howler } from 'howler'
import Tuna from 'tunajs'
const tuna = new Tuna(Howler.ctx)
const chorus = new tuna.Chorus({})
Howler.addEffect(chorus)
Howler.removeEffect(effect)
Removes an effect from the effect chain. The passed effect object must have been previously added using Howler.addEffect(effect)
.
Here's an example removing the chorus from the previous example.
Howler.removeEffect(chorus)
