MX4 controller confusion, mod wheel = breath, could not control an LFO.

[crduval]

I'm working on a project that needed a lead synth sound, and I thought I'd use MX-4. I haven't used it in years, but I always liked the sound and with this track, I thought it would be perfect.

I found a sound I liked, and went to add an LFO to control pitch via the mod wheel to control vibrato. The LFO did its job, but the assigning the Mod wheel (controller 1) as a shaper for the LFO did not work at all, the vibrato just stopped when I added the wheel, in any position. At first I thought the Mod wheel on my MIDI controller might have had a problem, so I launched Falcon with a lead synth sound I created, and the mod wheel worked fine. OK.

I went back to MX-4, created a pitch range on oscillator one and assigned the Mod Wheel to control it. That worked perfectly; but the information window told me that the incoming MIDI controller was the Breath controller. "OK, Mystery solved!" I thought, as I assigned the LFO Shaper control to the breath controller instead of the mod wheel. But that did not work either. I double checked my controller setting to see if somehow things weren't set properly, but everything seemed fine.

I am flummoxed. I messed with this for an hour with no luck. In fact I went through all the "lead" presets and the mod wheel either is not assigned to control pitch in any of them, or something else is confusing the Mod wheel mapping to MX-4 and only MX-4. I'm on the latest version of DP11, and am running Ventura OS on an M2 MacBook Air. MIDI routing is thruough a MOTU Ultralite mk 5. Advice welcome!
