Mod Matrix Not Always Working???

Mod Matrix doesn't always work?
I'd first noticed this with (some of) the MFX....
would assign a source to an MFX destination (presuming there was a direct correlation between what MFX controls could be assigned to knob control and what could be made a destination in the mod matrix) set the depth effect to whatever and then...... and then nothing. nothing would happen.
This had been an issue that frequently existed with the V-Synth GT, and I just thought to myself..... "o.k., surely Roland will fix it this time down the road; at least the control seems to work when a knob is assigned to the function"
But now I seemed to have run into even more nothing.....
Used LFO 2 of partial one as a step LFO and assigned it to modulating the rate of LFO 1.... set the dept of the modulation of LFO 2 on LFO 1 to positive (whatever value).... had LFO 1 modulating the filter at a positive depth (of whatever) and at a rate of "1"... triggered a sustained note..... and then... nothing. Well, that is to say nothing but LFO 1 modulating the filter at a persistent slow unchanging rate.
Just to make sure the programmed LFO 2 steps were otherwise doing things I then set LFO 2 to modulating the filter and filter modulation immediately sprang forth as expected.
As noted, while I can't say "ALL" MFX, this also seems to frequently takes place with MFX routing, so for example, set MFX to Super Filter (leaving it in it's default HPF) and LFO 1 rate with MFX 1, then MFX 2, then MFX 3, then MFX 4 all for NOTHING. Finally Pulse Width came up and suddenly tons of modulation kicked in. Changed the MFX to Multi Mode Filter and repeated MFX 1 - 4 again and again, all nothing. Changed it to Phaser 3 and again nothing. Finally tried Ring Modulator and again, nothing.
Anyone else encountered any strange issues with the Mod Matrix?
