Modulating Amplitude of Test Sine Generator using Meta Parameter does not work

Hi, see subject.
Using a Parameter Event Generator to drive the Meta Parameter.
The Meta Parameter itself seems to take the value just fine, but the amplitude is not changing.
Attaching the example. Is this expected, am I doing something wrong?
PS: I'm aware I can make this work using an Oscillator, but I have my reasons for using this Test Sine Generator.

Yes that's expected because the Test Sine Osc does not have an event input jack, which is necessary for parameter automations. Event if it would have a event in jack then automating the amplitude could cause zipper noise, and to avoid that the amplitude should be modulated which is done at samplerate, which is an extra feature on top of automation. So you're requesting the TSO to act as a synth osc. But that's not what the TSO is constructed for. Why don't you use a synth osc? It has all the options you need, no?
Another option is to put an Amplifier after the TSO and automate its gain.

Hope this Help's this was made before I had seen Jo's message

Thanks a lot runaudio, will give that a try tonight!
Thanks mutools,
But I found a different way to achieve this mapping now.
Thanks mutools,
I'm trying to map a reference synthesizer's settings to Mulab. The synth has a frequency setting, as opposed to pitch. The TSO has freq, while the oscillator has pitch only. While the transfer Curves support what is referred to as an Exponential Curve (frequency is an exponential function of pitch), this is not really an exponential function (e^x), but a power function (x^"exp").mutools wrote: Sat Jun 20, 2020 7:01 pmBut that's not what the TSO is constructed for.

For amplitude absolutely, you're right. I tested it on its amplitude, but was ultimately targeting the frequency.mutools wrote: Sat Jun 20, 2020 7:01 pmAnother option is to put an Amplifier after the TSO and automate its gain.
