Default Controlling FX parameter with CC output from another instrument

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help with this issue. I recently downloaded a program called "GateLab" (which is awesome), and in the tutorial video (right around 20:11) they start talking about how Gatelab can send midi cc data which can be used to control an FX parameter on another plugin:

They are using a different DAW though, and I can't seem to figure out the way to do the same thing in reaper. In my experiments, I've set up Gatelab on one track, and Serum on another, sort of like they do in the video.

I've set the midi output of Gatelab to be OMNI CC3:



And I've also set a cutoff knob in serum to supposedly read from that (though I'm not sure I'm doing that right):



I've toyed around with setting it to use different channels/busses, and creating a midi send from the track that has Gatelab to the track that has Serum, and I can't seem to get that midi output to control that knob.

Any insight would be helpful!

Thank you

"Midi Link" indeed is the correct way to do this.

You might want to insert a "ReaControlMidi" plugin in the FX chain and enable "log" to see, if your midi messages in fact do arrive in this track.
