-title: Plugins Bundled With Ardour
----
<p>
- Ardour now comes with the following plugins as part of a standard installation:
+ Ardour does not come with any built-in signal processors of its own (other
+ than volume faders) but does ship, since v5.0, with the small group of
+ plugins listed below. These plugins are listed as authored by "Ardour Team",
+ which are LV2 plugins, and are named with "a-" as the start of the name (like
+ a-EQ) or are listed as authored by "Ardour LUA Task Force" in which case they
+ are example (but still useful) LUA scripts. These plugins use Ardour's
+ generic GUI, and they work on all supported platforms so that projects
+ started on one platform will sound the same on another platform—if they
+ use just these plugins.
