Usually the plugin is loaded on a MIDI track.
| |
|
| |
|
| Instrument plugins interface with your DAW through one of a handful of standards. Steinberg's **VST** is a standard supported by many DAWs. AudioUnit **(AU**) is widely supported on Mac computers. **RTAS** is used by ProTools. Put simply, you should check your DAW's user manual to see what kind of plugins you can run.
| | == What are plugins? == |
| | Computer musicians typically use a DAW to create music. Plugins provide extra functionality within your DAW. For example, if your DAW doesn't allow microtuning then you can get that functionality via plugins. |
|
| |
|
| In some synths portamento/glide doesn't work properly when microtuned. Examples are Xfer Serum and LinPlug synths. There may be others, so it is recommended to test this function before making a purchase, if it is important for you.
| | Plugins featured on this page are typically either: |
| | * '''Software instruments''' that have built-in tuning functionality (e.g. synthesizers, samplers) |
| | * '''Tuning tools''' that alter the tuning of other instruments, plugins and/or audio clips but otherwise do not generate sounds themselves |
|
| |
|
| Synths to add: all Homegrown Sounds synths
| | 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: |

| | ; Notes |
| <tr>
| | * <span style="color: #007f00;">'''Full'''</span> means that the plugin is capable of any arbitrary pitch, note or frequency on any given MIDI note. This is possible via TUN format, MIDI Tuning Standard (MTS), and SCL/KBM pairs (but not SCL alone). |
| <th><strong>Name</strong><br />
| | * All plugins in the list are assumed to be 64-bit by default or offer an option of 32- or 64-bit. Plugins that are 32-bit only are marked with "32-bit". |
| </th>
| | * In some synths, portamento/glide does not work properly when microtuned. Examples are Xfer Serum and LinPlug synths. There may be others, so it is recommended to test this function before making a purchase, if it is important for you. |
| <th><strong>Description</strong><br />
| | * There are plugins retunable by MTS-ESP ([[#Tuner plugins|see below]]) which are not in this table. See them on the official [https://oddsound.com/usingmtsesp.php MTS-ESP page]. |
| </th>
| | ** The list there seems incomplete as of January 26, 2023: Full Bucket Audio states that their plugins [http://music.fullbucket.de/mps.html MPS], [http://music.fullbucket.de/tricent.html Tricent mk III], [http://music.fullbucket.de/stigma.html Stigma], [http://music.fullbucket.de/fbvc.html FBVC], [http://music.fullbucket.de/monofury.html Mono/Fury], [http://music.fullbucket.de/blooo.html The blooo],[https://www.fullbucket.de/music/scrooo.html The scrooo], [http://music.fullbucket.de/qyooo.html The qyooo] now have MTS-ESP support, but these are not in the list yet. |

| | == 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 == |
| | 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. |
