Hey guys!

I was wondering about the following.
On Windows we have lots and lots of plugins and synthesizers and effect racks. On Linux the selection is much less variable.

However, am I correct in understanding that the variety of the Windows synths and plugins merely means that people take several core modules and just rearrange them into different GUIs?
Am I correct in understanding that there are only several major algorithms for things like filters, delays, reverbs and choruses?
