A plugin is a software synthesizer which can be accessed within a [[DAWs|DAW]]. 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 macOS. '''~~RTAS~~''' is used by ProTools. '''LV2''' is an open-source plugin format commonly supported on Linux. Put simply, you should check your DAW's user manual to see what kind of plugins you can run.

Put simply, you should check your DAW's user manual to see what kind of plugins you can run.

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.
