Why wont my FCV100 modulate my BSY600 bass synth pedal?

Ive just bought an FCV100 to use with my BSY600 and although it works fine on its own (as a volume pedal) it wont do ANYYTHING at all to the synth pedal.
Im new to expression pedals so maybe I have it set up from.

I have a jack going from my bass to the input on BSY600 then a jack from its output to my own. I then have a patch lead going from the EXP output on the BSY600 to OUTPUT2 on the FCV100. Is this correct? Do I just have a dud FCV or am I doing something wrong?

First thing is you need a TRS cable (3-connector, "stereo"), not a regular patch cable.

That's amazing. I spent hours last night trying different patch leads and regular (mono) guitar leads, but never thought about trying a stereo cable.

Thank you so much.

Now I just need to connect my koas pad to it all ( I know how to do that

) and ill be dubstep wobbling my bass all over town.
