Free audio plug-ins for macOS (AU / VST)

Audio plug-ins for macOS that are genuinely free. Not trials, not time-limited demos. Not cut-down versions of a paid tier. Every entry here is listed as free on AlternativeTo. They install as Audio Unit or VST/VST3 plug-ins in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reaper and GarageBand. Instruments and samplers come first, then effects and processors. Several also run on Windows or Linux; each app page has the details. Disclosure: I develop one of these plug-ins, StudioZIO Tempo Delay. The rest is other people's work, included because it is well known and actually free.

What is ZynAddSubFX?

ZynAddSubFX is an open source software synthesizer for Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows.

For sound generation it has three hybrid synth engines that combine additive, subtractive, Fourier and other synthesis methods. No external samples are used to produce the sound; everything is done by synthesis. The synthesizer has effects like: reverberation, echo, chorus, distortion, equalizer and others, and supports microtonal tunings. The author of ZynAddSubFX is a Romanian programmer, Paul Nasca. The work started by March 2002 and the first public release was version 1.0.0 in September 2002.
