Serum LFO/Macro help

I'm working on a Serum patch and am a little stumped.
On LFO6 & 7 I have two 16th gate patterns over 1/2 bar assigned to velocity. This creates the classic trance stutter pattern on 32nd notes (ie, 16ths at 1/2 bar). To make it a full bar I have LFO5 flipping between the two. See screenshot.
Currently this runs constantly however I would like to assign a Macro to LFO5's depth so that I can dial this on or off. Logically I would assume adding a Macro to LFO5's Aux Source would do this but it wants a destination before it becomes effective.

Ok well and truly confused now. I can hear it working at expected when assigned to phaser depth (or similar) but I think the macro is simply adjuting the depth of the phaser not of the LFO (ie, it affects the destination rather than the source).

I am sure there is a reason why you are doing it like this rather than just using 1 LFO at 1/32 - but what is it?

Ah good question. I have two different gate patterns on each of the LFOs (ie, with slides etc) so they're not straight 32nd gates.

Ah cool. I guess it makes it a little easier to create shapes in the small windows that way.

I typically use LFOTool but I'm trying to build a self-contained patch this time.

Does Serum load LFOTool shapes?

Good thinking, I like it. It does but only up to 16 steps and I need more than that.

Long day so a few daft questions coming up:
1. Where do I enter this?
2. LFO6 modulating LFO5 isn't really what I want though (is it?). Unless I'm misunderstanding.
