Built-in and Bundled plug-ins
Here is the complete list of plug-ins included with Unify, organized by type.
In addition to our own built-in plug-ins, and several bundled third-party plug-ins indicated specifically below, the entire open-source MDA VSTs package is included, with the kind permission of developer Paul Kellett; see About the MDA plug-ins.

The Passthru effect appears in the menu of “Built-in” effects, but this is not for general use. It is a placeholder for when any audio or MIDI effect is not found when loading a patch or preset. When you see an error message and the name of the missing plug-in in red text, an instance of Passthru has been substituted.
