High, big fan of key groups, most if not all of my custom ones load fine on non beta firmware albeit in legacy mode (fair enough) Most of them have vibrato/lfo set to the mod wheel control but as soon as I switch off legacy the vibrato on wheel stops working, I have figured out how to go into lfo settings and get it back fine.
What I want is to be able to assign aftertouch to trigger the modulation/vibrato in the matrix but nothing I have tried works what am I missing please?
I am setting channel pressure as the source, destination as lfo1 apply aftertouch has no effect although mod wheel works so I know I have applied the lfo correctly

I tried this just now and it works for me.
I specified Channel Pressure as Source in the Mod Matrix and LFO 1 Level as Target.
Then on the LFO page I adjusted the Rate to taste, turned down Level (otherwise it would be on all the time) and on the Destinations page of the LFO I adjusted To Pitch to taste (20 in my case) and got a nice vibrato once I played my keyboard and applied some pressure.

Thank you that was pretty much what I was doing but your response made me look closer and the level and amount to wheel makes a difference, thank you now MPC keygoups are perfect thats exactly what I have been waiting for and hoping in the new software.
