VST (or VSTi)
These are little programs that generate sounds and/or apply effects to sounds. A VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is an effect-applying program, while a VSTi (Virtual Studio Technology instrument)is a sound generating program. VST/is come in a .dll file though, not .exe. You have to load them up into a sequencer in order to use them - a good free one is Reaper.
