Update, Solved: Passing MIDI CC to Nested Output Chains

Edit/Update to original post below: After closing/reopening Bitwig and DrumComputer, the setup below is now working. I tried both CC 87 and 88 on a few different parameters. Not sure what caused the previous failure, but I'll leave the post up in case anyone else finds this setup useful and wants to try it.

One of the things I've always loved about Bitwig is how it helps me to expand the usability of plugins. However, this one has me stumped, and I'm hoping some super-creative Bitwigger has a workaround.

I recently discovered the joy of Bitwig's Replacer. I'm using it to trigger Bitwig Sampler with audio output from DrumComputer. (I totally love DrumComputer's sequencer and most of its sounds, but its new sampler presently has a few quirks with as-is sample playback. So, Bitwig Replacer to the rescue.)

I have Replacer working fine, just for triggering the samples. What I can't figure out is how to pass MIDI CC generated by DrumComputer's sequencer to an instance of Bitwig's MIDI modulator, so I can use that to modulate parameters within the Bitwig Sampler. In the examples below, I'm trying to pass along CC 88 messages from DrumComputer to the MIDI modulator in the Replacer, and then use that to modulate the Pitch parameter in the Sampler.

I've tried putting the MIDI modulator in a few places, with no luck. I'm hoping there's something I just haven't thought of yet. I can't seem to get the MIDI modulator to receive the MIDI messages from DrumComputer. Thanks in advance if you can explain how to do this.

I generated the separate mixer channels for DrumComputer simply by using the "Add Missing Chains" feature in Bitwig. Because Bitwig seems to "nest" the chains within the main plugin channel, I'm assuming there's some way to pass the MIDI from the plugin to the nested chain channels.

I realized that a better way to do all this is with the note receiver and an embedded note filter (so the sampler doesn't react to every note output by DrumComputer), as shown below. I set this up on its own track.
