Why are we making this hard? Right click, duplicate track. WHATEVER the track type is, MIDI, audio track VSTi a duplicate appears that can be edited differently. It's an everyday feature for most of us, as is holding the alt key and click dragging a track - again, if you drag to empty space, a new track happens, or as I do often for layering, I duplicate the track to get identical settings - pan, sends, eq inserts etc, then dump the track contents, then drag something else into it. These basic actions are really important.
