I'm trying to figure out a way to have cleaner, efficient code for a web audio project i've been working on. the code I have right now is this:
//OSCILLATOR INFO//
// Oscillator Pitch is in Hz.
// Oscillator Detune is in Cents & can be positive or negative values.
// 1 Octave = double/half the note frequency in Hz. (A3 = 220Hz; A4 = 440Hz; A5 = 880Hz)
// 1 Octave = 1200 Cents. 100 Cents per Semitone. (A3 - A4 = 1200 Cents; A4 - A5 = 1200 Cents)
// 12 Semitones per Octave.
// (A-440Hz detuned by 100 cents = A#; detuned by -100 cents = Ab)
//JQUERY SET UP//
//WEB AUDIO SET UP//
//used start web audio
var ctx = new webkitAudioContext();
speakers = ctx.destination;
var osc1 = ctx.createOscillator();
var osc2 = ctx.createOscillator();
var osc3 = ctx.createOscillator();
$(document).ready(function () {

};
//PLAY_PAUSE BUTTONS - used to play & pause the oscillators.//

$('#play_pause_osc1').click(function () {

}
it seems like I have a lot of repetitive code so I was considering making some constructors for things like creating a a new osc or play/pause button. The problem I'm running into though, is since my oscillator controls are controlled via jquery how would i still use my jQuery sliders, buttons in the constructors?
This is as far as I've gotten:
var ctx = new webkitAudioContext();
//object constructor
function Osc(type,freq,detune,gain)
{
this.create = new ctx.createOscillator();
this.type = type; //0 = sine, 1 = square, 2 = saw, 3 = triangle, 4 = custom
this.freq = freq;
this.detune = detune;
this.gain = gain;
this.changeType = changeType;
function changeType(type)
{
this.type = type;
};
this.changeFreq = changeFreq;
function changeFreq(freq)
{
this.freq = freq;
};
}
Any help is appreciated!
