I have installed 4 OPT plug-ins from GenieSys (DolDrums, MIDI Edit, Stolen Tracks, VQuantizer).
I add the 5 plug-ins with "MIDI Editors plug-ins chooser".
So far, with the 3 standard Sony editors, there are 7 plug-ins available.
In the Default Track properties, I check "MIDI Editors".

I add a new MIDI track to the project, I've got 4 plug-ins only instead of the 7 previously set as defaults.

Is Acid 4.0f limited to 4 OPT plug-ins ? Any trick to use more ?

I have found the explanation, I think.

The maximum number of default OPT plugins is always 4, as I can see in the Internal tab of the Preferences.
However, each MIDI track can have its own number of OPT plug-ins, not limited to 4, and the settings are saved within the project.

The same rules apply to the FX for audio tracks.

Maybe this feature is known by most users but I had never noticed it.
