A Web Audio spectrum analyser

Web Audio Spectrum Analyser

Visualises the spectrum of any Web Audio node. Uses log scale for both frequency and amplitude.

Install

npm install @teropa/spectrum-analyser

ES Modules, CommonJS modules, and an UMD build are all provided.

Usage

Create an analyser and attach it to an existing <canvas> element, then connect it to an AudioNode and start visualising:

import { SpectrumAnalyser } from "@teropa/spectrum-analyser";

let spectrum = new SpectrumAnalyser(myCanvasElement, audioContext, {
  fftSize: 8192,
});
spectrum.connect(myAudioNode);
spectrum.start();

The canvas visualisatioon will be sized according to the natural (CSS-based) size of the canvas.

The third argument to the constructor supports the following options:

• fftSize - number - the FFT size of the backing AnalyserNode. This affects the resolution of the spectrum analysis.
• backgroundColor - string - the (CSS) color to use for the visualisation background
• spectrumColor - string - the (CSS) color to use for the filled spectrum
