Axe Fx II XL & Digitech Drop Pedal

I'm switching out and in some external pedals in my rig... I'm wanting to use my Drop Tune pedal in the axe fx's effects loop, so I can turn it on and off via my GCP, instead of walking back to my rig and switching it on.. I'm not sure why, but it sounds absolutely terrible through the fx loop...

[Noob] Filter Real Time movement

I have a noob question. I have seen videos where people connect their filters to envelopes and the filter lines on the Axe FX will move as the guitar is played. When I attach and envelope, I get the swoosh sound but no movement on the screen. Am I doing something wrong?
