Alright, next I want to add a VSTi instrument to the track once loaded. I tried this:

reaper.InsertMedia("C:/Users/derek/Dropbox/Music/midi/2009/2009 April 08.mid", 1) --this worked
track = reaper.GetTrack(0, 0)
reaper.TrackFX_AddByName(track, "Ivory (Synthogy)", false, 0) --nothing happens

But it has no effect. I want to programmatically do what happens when I click on "FX" on the track and select a VSTi instrument from the dialog.
