is there a way to create (and control, hopefully) simple waveforms like sine, square, or triangle in fmod? i am good at composition and foley but not great at programming. ---

Yes and no. It depends on exactly what you want to do. FMOD Studio can control any kind of audio in a wide variety of ways, including by dynamically adjusting its properties on a sine, square, triangle, or saw wave through our LFO modulator. There is no “oscillator” instrument that you could use to create audio without using a sound file in FMOD Studio, but you could easily create a sine wave, square wave or triangle wave audio file in another application and then use it in FMOD Studio. Do those possibilities fulfill your project’s requirements? ---

kind of. i haven’t had much luck making perfect loops of simple oscillators for fmod though. using logic, i make their loop and export it (from wave valley to wave valley) with ‘bounce 2nd cycle pass’ selected and, in logic, it sounds perfect. when i bring that ‘perfect’ loop into fmod, there’s a very distinct click at the beginning of a given loop. this has been the case with complex and simple sound loops. ---

Does your audio file start with a zero crossing? If not, it will likely click when it begins, so adjust the phase of your waveform accordingly. ---

adjust my simple sounds to crossfade over zero crossings did the trick for consistent tones. thank you! ---

Hello…i am not fully sure but based on my knowledge i will say that you can’t do that with a multi instrument. Try to create an Event with a Skip and Back parameter and skip return to songs with transition regions with conditions based on these parameters: ---

Reviving this topic to ask if this might be included in Studio any time soon? ---
