AudioBuffer: copyFromChannel() method

The copyFromChannel() method of the AudioBuffer interface copies the audio sample data from the specified channel of the AudioBuffer to a specified Float32Array.

Syntax

js
copyFromChannel(destination, channelNumber, startInChannel)

Parameters

destination

A Float32Array to copy the channel's samples to.

channelNumber

The channel number of the current AudioBuffer to copy the channel data from.

startInChannel Optional

An optional offset into the source channel's buffer from which to begin copying samples. If not specified, a value of 0 (the beginning of the buffer) is assumed by default.

Return value

None (undefined).

Exceptions

indexSizeError

One of the input parameters has a value that is outside the accepted range:

Examples

This example creates a new audio buffer, then copies the samples from another channel into it.

js
const myArrayBuffer = audioCtx.createBuffer(2, frameCount, audioCtx.sampleRate);
const anotherArray = new Float32Array(length);
myArrayBuffer.copyFromChannel(anotherArray, 1, 0);
