Hi Steve, The simplest thing to do would be to import MIDI files to new instrument tracks and just instantiate the plug-ins you wish to use. If you have a lot of clips to import, you might end up having to cut and paste things around, depending on what the MIDI files are and what you're trying to achieve.
The other option is much more involved, at least for now, and it would mean dragging clips from the clips List to the timeline. The Clips List table would need to be resized and you'd need to hide other tracks and maximize the height of the track to which you're dragging in the Edit window. It's not exactly for the faint of heart. However, I'm happy to say that the upcoming release of Flo Tools 2.2 will address this issue and make it easy to drag clips from the Clips List to tracks on the timeline, even to specific locations. I won't get into those details right now because we're finalizing things but it'll be available soon and, those users on version 2.0.1 will automatically be prompted to update the next time they launch Pro Tools after the new version is out.
