I want to add an osc, into a vst-effect, sounds not difficult, but... how i can trigger the osc? In a effect is only left/right in.
And i found no modul which would be useful/able to receive the input as trigger and send them forward, for example to a wave osc.
Freq/pitch doesn`t matter in that case, only the fact how give a osc/wave-osc a trigger signal trough the audio-input.
And how can i make it, that this wave-osc follow the audio input signal dynamic with -30db for example?

When you connect a stock SM oscillator in a blue path, it is already running as long as you input a frequency in normalised (0-1) values and connect the (-1,1) output somewhere in a valid path. While you're working this way (no white streams), it is essential to pick and activate a soundout module from the toolbar, either DirectSound or ASIO. 😉

So you mean nearly like that above? With input -> freq/0-1 -> wave-osc?
Don`t work 😀

Specify Hertz input directly in float, ex. "440", don't take it from the effect inputs as it won't work that way. In order to get the amplitude from the input of the whole effect you need a complexer path: 1. an envelope follower (stock). 2. convert its 0..1 values to -30..0dB (some code math needed here) 3. a VCA insert after the OSC, before the mixing stage.

Everything what Acrobat says and additionally if you want to use the wave player osc be sure to activate the "loop" bool inside the properties. Otherwiese it would play te wave only once.

And how can i specify the input into float?
Should i use than an additinal input parallel to the 2 existings?
all very wired for a newbie...

..and it's not easy to get exactly what you want to do, sorry but that's the usual problems we have here. Let's make one thing clear, you want the OSC react on input, and that's ok. You can use an enveleope follewer for that, it will track the volume changes of your input. Then you should decide: what the value will affect, amplitude or frequency of the oscillator?

Yes everything which is not standart, need more offer and time^^
So, Then you should decide: what the value will affect, amplitude or frequency of the oscillator?
I want, inside a VST-Effect, a wave-osc(which use a sample, static/no pitch and looped) which playes if a signal comes in, and logical that it plays it so long the signal is in, and that the wave-osc running then dynamic with for example -20db then the input signal.
Quite simpl^^ in words....

I've built a schematic for you that may help... 😉

😍 big big thanks!
this will help me a lot to learn and better understanding
