Ardour does not come with any built-in signal processors of its own - (other than volume faders) but does ship with a small group of - plugins starting at Ardour 5.0. The shipped plugins are listed as authored by "Ardour Team" - and named with "a-" as the start of the name (Like a-EQ) or Authored by - "Ardour LUA Task Force" in which case they are example (but still useful) - LUA scripts. The included plugins are LV2 or LUA scripts and use - Ardour's generic GUI. 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 or other plugins that - are cross platform. - They are written by 3rd parties, though we do provide some - information on how to get them. +

+ They are usually written by 3rd parties, though a few come as part of a standard Ardour install. The sources for plugins are many and varied; see here for some information on how to get them.
