Before purchasing a plugin, you should check your DAW's user manual to see which types of plugins it supports. In many cases you can try a free demo to make sure it works as expected. Plugin types include:
Before purchasing a plugin, you should check your DAW's user manual to see which types of plugins it supports. In many cases you can try a free demo to make sure it works as expected. Plugin types include:


* '''VST''' (Steinberg), widely supported.
* [[Wikipedia: Virtual Studio Technology|VST3]] by [[wikipedia:Steinberg|Steinberg]], widely supported. VST2 is also by Steinberg, who discontinued it in 2018. But most Windows versions of non-Steinberg DAWs still support VST2 as of 2023.
* '''AU''' (AudioUnit), widely supported on macOS only.
* [[Wikipedia: Audio Units|AU]] by [[wikipedia:Apple Inc.|Apple]], widely supported on macOS only.
* '''AAX''', used by ProTools and '''RTAS''' which was used in ProTools until version 10.
* AAX by [[wikipedia:Avid Technology|Avid]], used in ProTools, and [[wikipedia:Real Time AudioSuite|RTAS]], obsolete format which was used in ProTools until version 10.
* '''LV2''' and '''DSSI,''' open source plugin formats commonly supported on open source DAWs (typically for Linux).
* [[Wikipedia: LV2|LV2]], [[Wikipedia: CLever Audio Plug-in|CLAP]] ([https://cleveraudio.org/ site]) and [[Wikipedia:Disposable Soft Synth Interface|DSSI]] (obsolete, replaced by LV2), open-source cross-platform plugin formats.
* NKS by [[wikipedia:Native Instruments|Native Instruments]], used with their hardware.

== MIDI remapper plugins ==
These plugins are neither instruments nor tuners but are useful when working with those, remapping notes input to the plugin, presumed to be in one tuning or a mode of a tuning, to the notes the plugin outputs, presumed to be in another tuning. For example, making you use just a MOS subscale of an output equal-division tuning.

== MPE-compatible software instrument plugins ==
== MPE-compatible software instrument plugins ==
A recent development in music technology is MIDI polyphonic expression (MPE). Instruments that support MPE are able to apply pitch-bend on a per-note basis. In theory, this allows a musician to create polyphonic microtonal music using any MPE-compatible synth. In practice, it is a laborious process to create microtonal music by specifying a pitch-bend on every single MIDI note. However some plugins shown in the above "Tuner plugins" table can intercept MIDI note data from the sequencer and systematically apply the correct per-note pitch-bend before that data is received by the instrument. Because of this, creating microtonal music with MPE-compatible instruments is now a viable approach.
