I like this paragraph from a review of XILS 3 plugin:

"If you’re hoping to recreate your favourite VCS3 sounds on XILS 3, 
forget it. You can’t. The sound generators are too clean, too stable and
 too close to the ideal, the modifiers are too clean, too stable and too
 close to the ideal, and the controllers are, umm, too clean, too stable
 and too close to the ideal. The thing is, the VCS3 really is a  ghastly
 piece of engineering and it achieves what it does precisely because its
 signal paths are so dirty, it’s so unstable and it’s so unpredictable. 
By removing this essential un-ness, you change the nature of the beast."

I think VI means virtual instrument.
