I'm interested in plugins/ virtual instruments that are based on real instruments but not necessary in their raw form. I have Kontakt 5 and plan on messing with the orchestral samples eventually but before I re-invent the wheel i'm wondering if someone has done the hard yards and put together a sample pack based on instruments but already chopped, edited and saturated them with effects for use in electronic music.

tldr; I want instruments that sound like synth, not synth that sounds like instruments.

Thanks in advance.

 

You mean like granular synthesis, vocoding, morphing, convolution/impulse reverb (rhythmic or other), pitch correction/autotune/Melodyne, formant filers, distortion, etc?
Yes.

Can you be a bit more specific?

Are you just listing various effects?

 

Yes. I listed processes that I have applied to real instruments (acoustically and electronically recorded sounds) to make them sound synthesized.
I didn't make them into a "sample pack".

Not really sure what you are asking. Maybe there are some Kontakt libraries of real instruments layered with synth sounds. Is that something (of the sort) you are requesting?
