each midi track that appears on the mixer as a correspondent audio channel.. and those have eq.. etc..
if you dont understand try to put something playing on the midi.. and check the mixer.. there should be a audio channel sayin' "i'm here!!!" hehehehehe
plur
 this is how we are ought to see how sound really is.. |

MIDI is data, not sound, and tells instruments which notes to play; a MIDI track must be outputting to an instrument to make any sound.
To find out if the track is sending MIDI to a VST instrument, select the MIDI track and click on the small '+' next to the 'e' in a circle at the top left of the Inspector to open the main controls for the track. The box labelled 'out' tells you where the MIDI data on that track is being sent to, and if you click on it you will get a list of all the outputs and instruments available to you. If you select a virtual instrument here, the MIDI data will be sent to that instrument and you can then follow Fluor's advice above to find which audio channel your sound is coming out of.
MIDI tracks only contain information about which notes are playing, but not the sounds themselves.

the confusing thing is that MIDI tracks do appear in the mixer.... so you can put MIDI FX and use midi panning etc (ie pan the data _before_ it reaches the instrument)...... I very rarely (ok never) use these tracks (on the mixer i mean).
Maybe they should have been hidden by default... I dunno.

If you're only using VST instruments these tracks are as much use as tits on a fish, agreed, because you can automate the VST instrument channels themselves.
However a lot of people using external hardware synths and FX use these quite a lot, and they are also useful if you want to do transformations on MIDI data before it goes to the VST synths, eg use an arpeggiator on a synth that doesn't have it, or transform control changes to tweak your synth if you don't have a decent control surface.
I'll shut up now...
