So, how exactly would I do that (load a vst not currently scanned in and identified as a MIDI FX into a MIDI Layer)? TIA!

Only non audio fx can be loaded there afaik

No FAQ on their site ?
What is the copy protection ? If it's C/R I am out sadly.

I don't want to load an audio fx as a MIDI fx. Almost all my AU MIDI FX also are available as vsts and are already scanned into Unify, as in the screengrab.

I'm asking how I get these to show up in the MIDI FX Menu along with the AUs, which are all that are there now. Anyone not on a Mac or not using Logic must be able to access these as vsts; how do I? Thanks again!

Bottom right corner to the left of the plugin menu there's a hamburger menu with 3 dots. Then use the drop down menu (Top left) - ALL My MIDI Effects.xml

I like to work with midi fx and what ever.
I would like to see more free midi plugins included in Unify.
Here is a list of over 100 free midi plugins available.

edit: I assumed that permission will be sought.

They would need to be free open source plugins to be included in the unify license afaik. It doesn't stop you adding them yourself though.

@getdunne could you please have a look into the macro parameter link for the noisebox morph. It's bugged on my system.

They would also need to be cross-platform, not just PC, to be included.

I believe they took the extra step of requesting and receiving permission for each one to be included, even if they were open source.

Found it, thank you! (After updating to the current version—helped:) )

And loading MIDI FX vsts instead of AUs works sometimes:

I was able to get CreamCM, EZKeys, SugarBytes Thesys and Guitarist, Melda synth arps, Captain Chords (running into BlueArp) and Reaktor 5 sequencers all to work.

But Numerology and Kontakt still crash Logic when trying to load, and Reaktor 6, HY Seq Collection2, and neither Nora nor NoraCM work at all after loading.
