How can I randomize the start time of a sample?

I'm looking to randomize the start time of a long sample every time you hit the key. In Kontakt you can assign an LFO to the start time and it basically randomizes the start time constantly, which is perfect. I can't get that to work in Falcon -- when I assign an LFO or Smooth Random to the start time of a sample it doesn't do anything. So, how can I do this?

Assiging any form of modulation to the sample start works fine here. I just double tested it with assigning a LFO and no problems.
Be sure though if you assign the modulation to do it at the keygroup level and not layler level i.e. choose the modulation type from the dropdown list - internal - keygroup.
Hope that helps!

Thanks for this -- I was doing it at layer level by mistake, not key group layer. Cheers!

Can you describe exactly how I would do this for sample start? I'm not quite sure how to get an LFO in the key group to modulate the sample start time. I can't click and drag it to the parameter like I can from the layer level.
 
I made a small video for you as there need to be done a few more steps and maybe easier to watch. The audio is a bit on the low site and no talking as I have my mic used elsehwere, but for demonstration purpose you can hear that its working.

What I am doing is:

Create a new layer layer
Load Sample and disable allow streaming (otherwise it won't work)
Right click sample start and choose "Add modulation"
From the bottom at keygroup choose New Lfo
At the LFO controls disable retrigger and choose "no retrigger" and also disable bipolar
Then just adjust the amount of modulation as you prefer and you are good to go :)
