Automating Arpeggiator

I want to automate the arpeggiator on a MIDI track to make it act like an LFO modulator-- but that doesn't work, right?
It allows me to Write Enable the necessary parameters, but they lock in at 64th doubled (for some reason) and the automation parameter is just in percentages - rather than in measures - but either way the percentages don't respond to any changes in them relatively to the arpeggiator.
Anyone tried the same thing and experienced similar issues, or is it just me?
Subtext: Are some Write Enable parameters 'fake'?

    Not sure I understand your intended use of the arpeggiator here. How are you hoping to use it as an LFO?

    Hi sharke, thanks for your attempted reply. Apologies: I may still not be so sure about the correct terminology (even though I just googled the terms I used and I believe them to in fact be correct).
    Premise: the arpeggiator repeats a note or riff a given number of times, on a given scale, according to the measure and scales chosen, yes?
    So, if one could hypothetically automate the measures (and why not, even the scales) then the given sound may be played back in fourths for 1 bar, eighths for the second bar, and so on: thusly acting like an LFO modulator (e.g. step sequencer in NI Massive).
    This however does not seem doable-- ergo my main underlying point and question: are some automation parameters 'fake'?
    It does seem a bit much that every single thing on a ProChannel strip 'lights up' when you write-enable a given track. I have also tried other exotic parameters and they also seem to not fully work.
     
    PS: I've tried posting this MANY times, over SEVERAL hours and various browsers. PLEASE fix the forum bugs
