Plugins are written by 3rd parties, and Ardour supports a variety of different plugin standards:

+Ardour supports a variety of different plugin standards: +

-
LADSPA
-
An early, simple, lightweight plugin API, audio effects only, plugins have no editors/GUI of their own

LV2
-
An extensible, full-featured plugin API, audio and MIDI, plugins can provide their own editors/GUIs
-
AudioUnit
-
OS X only, full featured, audio and MIDI, plugins can provide their own GUI
-
Linux VST
-
Plugins using Steinberg's VST plugin standard but compiled specifically for Linux
-
Windows VST
-
Plugins using Steinberg's VST plugin standard but compiled for Windows. Support for this plugin format is not available in regular builds of Ardour. Read more... -
