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.
