* '''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 {{w|Native Instruments}}, used with their hardware.

; Notes
; Notes
* "Full-keyboard microtuning" 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, and .scl/.kbm pairs (but not .scl support on its own).
* <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).
* All synths in the list are assumed to be 64-bit by default or offer an option of 32- or 64-bit. Synths that are 32-bit only are marked with "(32-bit)"
* 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".  
* For distinction of free software and freeware, see [[Wikipedia: Free software]] and [[Wikipedia: Freeware]].
* 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.
* 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.
* 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].
** 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 ==
== 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.
