a-plugins is a suite of plugins bundled with Ardour, from version 5.0 onwards. They include all the basic plugins you need to get started mixing. The suite currently consists of the following -
a-Amplifier | A simple multichannel plugin to amplify or attenuate your signal by +/- 20dB |
a-Compressor | A powerful compressor, including a sidechain input. Comes in both mono and stereo versions |
a-Delay | A simple but capable delay plugin |
a-EQ | 4 band parametric EQ with high and low shelf filters |
a-Fluid Synth | SF2 Synthesizer using fluidsynth as its backend |
a-High/Low Pass filter | High and low pass filters with steepness and resonance controls |
a-Inline Scope | Mixer strip inline waveform display |
a-Inline Spectrogram | Mixer strip inline spectrum display |
a-MIDI Monitor | Plugin to display recent MIDI events inline in the mixer strip |
a-Pong | Play pong in Ardours inline display (example plugin) |
a-Reasonable Synth | A simple synthesizer |
a-Reverb | A Schroeder reverberator |
Many of the a-plugins take advantage of Ardour's inline display, eg. EQ curve and compressor gain reduction.
