Default VST's & VST(i)s

Perhaps the distinction you are looking for is this (and this is just off the top of me head, and as a rule of thumb)..

VSTi -virtual studio technology instrument. These will need some midi input from say a keyboard, and produce some kind of (instrumental)sound, say a guitar.

VST - vurtual studio technology. These will apply effects to a sound -EQ, reverb, distortion, wah etc.
