I have an M-Audio 88ES that I run into Cubase SX3 using Eiderol's Orchestral VSTi.

I am attempting to assign my modulation wheel to "volume." I went through all of the steps correctly, and when I roll the wheel I see the MIDI signal flashing in Cubase, however it does not do anything. Would this be a problem with my 88 already? (I just bought it.) I do not think it would have to do with the VSTi because this is a function that Cubase manages, correct?

FYI: The portamento and pan functions work, just not the volume.

Thanks a lot in advance!
