OscillatorNode
The OscillatorNode interface represents a periodic waveform, like a sine wave. It is an AudioNode audio-processing module that causes a given frequency of sine wave to be created — in effect, a constant tone.
An OscillatorNode is created using the AudioContext.createOscillator method. It always has exactly one output and no inputs, both with the same amount of channels. Its basic property defaults (see AudioNode for definitions) are:
- Number of inputs: 0
- Number of outputs: 1
- Channel count mode: max
- Channel count: 2 (not used in the default count mode)
- Channel interpretation: speakers
Value members
Concrete methods
Used to point to a PeriodicWave defining a periodic waveform that can be used to shape the oscillator's output, when type = "custom" is used.

This replaces the now-obsolete OscillatorNode.setWaveTable.
This method specifies the exact time to start playing the tone.
