Example

Main file javascript

require("audio-worker-shim").polyfill();

var audioContext = new AudioContext();

audioContext.createAudioWorker("bitcrusher_worker.js").then(function(factory) {
  var bitcrusherNode = factory.createNode(1, 1);

  bitcrusherNode.bits.setValueAtTime(8,0);
  bitcrusherNode.connect(output);

  input.connect(bitcrusherNode);
});

bitcrusher_worker.js

// Custom parameter - number of bits to crush down to - default 8
this.addParameter("bits", 8);

// Custom parameter - frequency reduction, 0-1, default 0.5
