Thanks for the quick response. I do get that when I use a blank MIDI track, as per your picture.

The issue I'm having is with a track created using "Insert instrument" option. In CW 8.5, this would create an instrument folder with two tracks: one MIDI and the other audio for instrument output. Here I get one track that can record MIDI, but the FX box seems to be for the instrument audio, so only audio FX can be inserted. The instrument folder indicates 1 MIDI and 1 audio track (see attachment), but what is visible is a hybrid track (can record MIDI, but FX are audio)

Perhaps I should rephrase my question: how to show separate MIDI and audio tracks for an instrument?

In Cakewalk Plug-in Manager x64, I see seven registered MIDI FX plug-ins (all original Cakewalk stuff), but I'm unable to insert any of them as a MIDI FX on a MIDI track. 

Normally (in CW 8.5) I would see a right-click menu option MIDI FX and then I would select. What am I missing here?

Thanks!
