I'm looking for Zebra patches that emulate real acoustic instruments for live keyboard rig

OK here is the thing:
My experience as a keyboardist who play virutal instruments taught me that for acoustic piano sound, various organ sounds, verious electric piano sounds, and other keyboard instruments like clavichord and harpsichord for example, and synth sounds, we have huge selection of great sounding virtual instruments which are also very palyable on keyboard.

What I haven't found yet is playable virtual orchestral instruments and some other playable acoustic virtual instruments.

There are very realistic sounding sampled virtual instruments which capture all the nuances of the instruments, and those are great for music production, but not very playable on keyboard.

What I think will be great is synth patches that try to emulate the sound of acoustic instruments, those can be very playable but will always sound only semi realistic, but have you heard the strings and brass patches on Roland\Yamah\Korg digital pianos?? Those are also only semi realistic sounding, as a matter of fact I'm pretty sure those patches are synth based and not real instruments that were sampled.
So right now Zebra is the only synth I own and I think this is an extremely powerful synth, and I'm sure it can do what I'm looking for.

So what I need the most is:
Orchestral brass section patch
Strings section patch
Accordion Patch
Various choir patches- wich sound as realistic as a synth choir patch could be
Pop brass section
Sax section

That is what up in my mind right now but I'm really looking for as much as possible Zebra patches that emulate as many acoustic instruments as I can find, for any case I might need them for live rig.

Those patches shouldn't sound bluntly like a synth, but also not extremely realsitc, if it sounds as realistic as the sounds on Korg\Roland\Yamaha Digital pianos it is fine!

I did a really nice Irish Whistle patch if you are interested. I was kind of amazed how close it came (I'm a whistle player, FYI.) Works as both a high and a low whistle. Aftertouch is vibrato. Modwheel replicates the effect of reducing breath to trail off the volume and pitch of a note.
