Have you tried either the Arturia V Collection or IK Syntronik?
-
The Arturia V Collection appears to have become, if not the gold standard, the silver, behind Native Instruments, but not as expensive, since the sounds and functions are physically modelled rather than sample-based and do not require a player. They can also be used live. The collection consists of 23 instruments including the tw-KB Vox Continental, Farfisa Compact Deluxe. CS-80 and DX-7. Mini and Modular Moog, Several Oberheim and ARP's (Soina IV and 2600) Wulie and Rhode electric piaons and Hammond B3. Some have reported bugs and problems but you can YouTube up reviews I like it for the live playability. Arturia also has a set of over 5,000 presets of it's collection called Analog Lab, which is used on a rent to own basis. If used with a MIDI controller KB with knobs, swtches and sliders, each of these presets has limited modifiability
I have not tried the IK Syntronik. It is sample-based and includes things like the Ono/Poly, Polymoog Synthesizer, Moog Opus 3 (Originally named by Herb Deutch the "SOB - Strings Organ Brass"), which hardware instrument I have and it is a BEAST., PPG Wave and others, it to has been reviewed on YouTube. I am holding back until I can find out if it can be played live. It is a sample player that configures its UI to basically resemble the instrument that is being emulated in a meaningful way, but noet exactly, If you ever saw the Polymoog Syntesizer and Opus 3, you would see how graphicall difficult, if not impossible that would be
