The effects reference definitely says there is an oscillator, But I can’t seem to actually find it in FMOD studio. How do I load the oscillator to use it as a sound source?

While the oscillator effect is part of the FMOD Engine, it has no equivalent effect in FMOD Studio. As such, if you want to create a waveform for use in FMOD Studio, you will have to generate one in a DAW and export/build/bounce it out as an audio file that can then be dragged into FMOD Studio’s assets browser.
