Adding (Non-CbB) FX Plugins to a Clip?

[Stephen Power]

When I add FX plugins to a clip (from the FX bin), I only get the pre-installed Cakewalk plugins. Is there a way to put 3rd party plugins into the FX bin and then onto a MIDI clip?

I have many FX plugins that I can use on a whole track, but they do not appear when right-clicking for use on a clip. I tried dragging them from the plugins folder, but I get the 'no entry' icon.

They will go on the track but not directly onto a clip. Only the Cakewalk priority plugins are doing that.

Please walk me through how to do that if it's possible. 

Thanks (again) for any help offered.

Those are audio effects not midi.   
You can use them in the instrument tracks effects bin but midi data is not audio.

Thanks John. It dawned on me, eventually, that was the issue. I've frozen the clips and can find more plugins now.
