  • Plug-ins are user-made expansions of the EVN universe, ranging from as small as simply making a Shuttle cost one more credit to changing the entire universe. Plug-ins use a custom-made file type as opposed to a common one. Specifically, on a Mac the file type is "EV Nova Plug-in" while on Windows it uses a .rez format. The latter is newer and more stable, as it doesn't require specific compression methods to avoid loss of data when transferring across the internet or converting. It should be noted that, while the Windows version of EVN comes with a Mac to Windows convertor, the Mac version does not have one for vice versa. However, there are tools available on the Mac, such as Mission Computer, that can convert both ways, which Windows cannot do. There is a common distinction between the so-called "Total Conversions" (TCs) and the other plugs because a TC is of greater scale generally, namely in that everything is different from the original "novaverse", though in the view of some developers (Martin Turner and Peter "Pace" Craddock to name a couple), this distinction has no substance.

When selecting or purchasing plug-ins, the performer must be aware of which plug-in standards his sequencer or DAW software supports.
