    Class TransportTimeClass<Type>

    TransportTime is a time along the Transport's timeline. It is similar to Tone.Time, but instead of evaluating against the AudioContext's clock, it is evaluated against the Transport's position. See TransportTime wiki.

      Returns this

    • Coerce a time type into this units type.

      Parameters

      Returns this

    • Prints the outputs to the console log for debugging purposes. Prints the contents only if either the object has a property called debug set to true, or a variable called TONE_DEBUG_CLASS is set to the name of the class.

      Parameters

      • ...args: any[]

      Returns void

      const osc = new Tone.Oscillator();
      // prints all logs originating from this oscillator
      osc.debug = true;
      // calls to start/stop will print in the console
      osc.start();

    • Quantize the time by the given subdivision. Optionally add a percentage which will move the time value towards the ideal quantized value by that percentage.

      Parameters

      • subdiv: Time

        The subdivision to quantize to

      • Optionalpercent: number

        Move the time value towards the quantized value by a percentage.

      Returns Type

      Tone.Time(21).quantize(2); // returns 22
      Tone.Time(0.6).quantize("4n", 0.5); // returns 0.55

    • Return the time encoded as Bars:Beats:Sixteenths.

      Returns `${number}:${number}:${number}`

    • Return the value in hertz
