<p><strong>Note</strong>: 2014/8/29のWeb Audio API仕様公開にて、本機能は廃止対象となり<a href="/ja/docs/Web/API/Web_Audio_API#Audio_Workers">Audio Workers</a>の機能によって置き換えられる予定です.</p>
</div>

<div>
<p>The <code>ScriptProcessorNode</code> interface allows the generation, processing, or analyzing of audio using JavaScript. It is an {{domxref("AudioNode")}} audio-processing module that is linked to two buffers, one containing the input audio data, one containing the processed output audio data. An event, implementing the {{domxref("AudioProcessingEvent")}} interface, is sent to the object each time the input buffer contains new data, and the event handler terminates when it has filled the output buffer with data.</p>
</div>

<p><img alt="The ScriptProcessorNode stores the input in a buffer, send the audioprocess event. The EventHandler takes the input buffer and fill the output buffer which is sent to the output by the ScriptProcessorNode." src="https://mdn.mozillademos.org/files/5157/WebAudioScriptProcessingNode.png" style="display: block; height: 174px; margin: 0px auto; width: 306px;"></p>

<p>The size of the input and output buffer are defined at the creation time, when the {{domxref("AudioContext.createScriptProcessor()")}} method is called (both are defined by {{domxref("AudioContext.createScriptProcessor()")}}'s <code>bufferSize</code> parameter). The buffer size must be a power of 2 between <code>256</code> and <code>16384</code>, that is <code>256</code>, <code>512</code>, <code>1024</code>, <code>2048</code>, <code>4096</code>, <code>8192</code> or <code>16384</code>. Small numbers lower the <em>latency</em>, but large number may be necessary to avoid audio breakup and glitches.</p>

<p>If the buffer size is not defined, which is recommended, the browser will pick one that its heuristic deems appropriate.</p>
