Krotos has released a plug in called Reformer Pro which has four slots to load four libraries. Retails at $238, it is like an audio-triggered sampler with a very large number of velocity layers.
It is much easier than the Dehumaniser as Reformer Pro are plugins which can just be put in your project in a DAW. This is also a great tool for turning drums into strange glitchy sounds. It also has a Vocoder which lets us put pitch information back into the output that makes the most unique synth sounds.
