    XSound - Powerful Audio Features Easily ! -

    Node.js CI node-current License: MIT npm jsDelivr

    Overview

    XSound gives Web Developers Powerful Audio Features Easily !
    In concrete, XSound is useful to implement the following features.

    • Create Sound
    • Play the One-Shot Audio
    • Play the Audio
    • Play the Media
    • Streaming (by WebRTC)
    • MIDI (by Web MIDI API)
    • MML (Music Macro Language)
    • Effectors (Compressor / Wah / Equalizer / Tremolo / Phaser / Chorus / Delay / Reverb ... etc)
    • Visualization (Overview in Time Domain / Time Domain / Spectrum)
    • Multi-Track Recording (Create WAVE file)
    • Session (by WebSocket)
    • Audio Streaming
    • Visual Audio Sprite

    XSound don't depend on other libraries or frameworks (For example, jQuery, React).

    Supported Browsers

    Supported Browsers are Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera and Safari

    Getting Started

    In case of using as full stack (For example, use oscillator) ...

    X('oscillator').setup([true, true, false, false]).ready(2, 5).start([440, 880]).stop();
    

    or, in case of using as module base (For example, use chorus effector) ...

    // The instance of `AudioContext`
    const context = X.get();
    
    // Create the instance of `Chorus` that is defined by XSound
    const chorus = new X.Chorus(context);
    
    const oscillator = context.createOscillator();
    
    // The instance that is defined by XSound has connectors for input and output
    oscillator.connect(chorus.INPUT);
    chorus.OUTPUT.connect(context.destination);
    
    // Set parameters for chorus
    chorus.param({
      time : 0.025,
      depth: 0.5,
      rate : 2.5,
      mix  : 0.5
    });
    
    // Activate
    chorus.activate();
    
    oscillator.start(0);
    

    XSound enable to using the following classes (Refer to API Documentation for details).

    // These type aliases are defined by XSound
    type BufferSize = 0 | 256 | 512 | 1024 | 2048 | 4096 | 8192 | 16384;
    type RecordType = 1 | 2;  // Monaural | Stereo
    
    X.Analyser(context: AudioContext);
    X.Recorder(context: AudioContext, bufferSize: BufferSize, numberOfInputs: RecordType, numberOfOutputs: RecordType);
    X.Session(context: AudioContext);
    
    // Effectors
    X.Autopanner(context: AudioContext);
    X.BitCrusher(context: AudioContext);
    X.Chorus(context: AudioContext);
    X.Compressor(context: AudioContext);
    X.Delay(context: AudioContext);
    X.Equalizer(context: AudioContext);
    X.Filter(context: AudioContext);
    X.Flanger(context: AudioContext);
    X.Fuzz(context: AudioContext);
    X.Listener(context: AudioContext);
    X.NoiseGate(context: AudioContext);
    X.NoiseSuppressor(context: AudioContext, size: BufferSize);
    X.OverDrive(context: AudioContext);
    X.Panner(context: AudioContext);
    X.Phaser(context: AudioContext);
    X.PitchShifter(context: AudioContext, size: BufferSize);
    X.Preamp(context: AudioContext);
    X.Reverb(context: AudioContext);
    X.Ringmodulator(context: AudioContext);
    X.Stereo(context: AudioContext, size, size: BufferSize);
    X.Tremolo(context: AudioContext);
    X.VocalCanceler(context: AudioContext, size: BufferSize);
    X.Wah(context: AudioContext);
    

    Demo

    XSound.app uses this library.

    Now, I'm creating website for Web Audio API. Please refer to the following site for understanding API Documentation.

    WEB SOUNDER

    Installation

    $ npm install --save xsound
    

    or,

    $ yarn add xsound
    

    Usage

    In case of using CDN,

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/xsound@latest/build/xsound.min.js"></script>
    

    In case of using ES Modules (for SSR ... etc),

    import { XSound, X } from 'xsound';
    

    Connect to WebSocket Server

    const roomId = 'test-room-id-001';  // Any string
    
    // for `ScriptProcessorNode`
    const bufferSize             = 2048;
    const numberOfInputChannels  = 2;
    const numberOfOutputChannels = 2;
    
    const analyser = X('stream').module('analyser');
    
    // for connecting to WebSocket server
    const tls  = true;  // Use `wss:`
    const host = 'xsound-websocket-server.herokuapp.com/';
    const port = 8000;
    const path = '/app';
    
    const setupParams = {
      roomId,
      bufferSize,
      numberOfInputChannels,
      numberOfOutputChannels,
      analyser
    };
    
    const connectionParams = {
      roomId,
      tls,
      host,
      port,
      path
    };
    
    // For example, sound source is `StreamModule`
    X('stream')
      .module('session')
      .setup(setupParams)
      .ready(connectionParams);
    

    Setup

    Use Webpack Dev Server

    $ git clone git@github.com:Korilakkuma/XSound.git
    $ cd XSound
    $ npm install
    $ npm run dev
    $ open http://localhost:8080/playground/
    

    Use Docker

    $ git clone git@github.com:Korilakkuma/XSound.git
    $ cd XSound
    $ npm install
    $ npm run watch
    $ docker compose up -d --build
    $ open http://localhost:8080/playground/

    XSound API Documentation

    Playground

    XSound Playground (Watch by YouTube).

    Migration to v3

    Please refer to API Documentation for details.

    Case sensitive

    // Bad (v2 or earlier)
    X('audio').module('panner').param({ coneinnerangle: 240 });
    
    // Good (v3)
    X('audio').module('panner').param({ coneInnerAngle: 240 });
    

    Use plain object if parameters setter

    // Bad (v2 or earlier)
    X('oscillator').get(0).param('type', 'sawtooth');
    
    // Good (v3)
    X('oscillator').get(0).param({ type: 'sawtooth' });
    

    Validate parameters on the application side

    if ((type === 'sine') || (type === 'square') || (type === 'sawtooth') || (type === 'triangle')) {
      X('oscillator').get(0).param({ type });
    }
