this is a simplified version which only handles numbers and 'now' relative numbers. If the Transport is included this method is overridden to include many other features including notationTime, Frequency, and transportTime

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
time Tone.Time
now number <optional>

if passed in, this number will be used for all 'now' relative timings

Inherited From:
Source:
Returns:

seconds in the same timescale as the AudioContext

Type
number

toSeconds(time, now) → {number}

convert Tone.Time into seconds.

unlike the method which it overrides, this takes into account transporttime and musical notation

Parameters:
Name Type Argument Description
time Tone.Time
now number <optional>

if passed in, this number will be used for all 'now' relative timings
