Fm8 Fx in patcher / Fl studio.

Hey so i just made sure everything in FL was up to date and cleaned up then installed Komplete 10. Im trying to use fm8 in patcher the main reason i got it.

So i have a few questions about this what is possible etc.

I have either Serum or Nexus running in the channel rack. I load patcher as an FX and insert the FM8FX module.

How do i make Serum or Nexus output its midi notes to FM8 inside patcher so it follows the keyboard? I feel like what i do inside serum / nexus looks the same as MIDI out plugin. but it doesnt have the effect i want.


*i understand how to do the matrix to output sound i can hear the piano or bass patch.
*i can fm itself
*i can press the keyboard inside fm8 fx and it will do the fm on and off.
*a layer and midi out can send midi to 0 and it works

i feel like i had it working at my friends yet idk what i did different.
