If you've got Kontakt, you've probably got the Kontakt Factory Library and Kontakt Factory 2, both of which have some very nice instruments.

Most of the holiday sales are over, so libraries like Nucleus Lite are back to full price. These are limited (similar to BBC) to sections so they lack soloists. And they tend to be bombastic, which limits their usability.

Red Room Audio has a free library called Palette Primary Colors that contains sections (strings/brass/woodwinds) that you might find useful. It's not intimate, but it's nice.

You might check out Solid State Symphony by Indiginus. It's an synthetic orchestra library, but the sections can be layered with your existing libraries, so you might find it useful.

If you don't mind working with notation, MuseScore is a free notation program that has some very good orchestral instruments. But... it's notation-based, which is a whole new set of software to learn. Here's an example of what it can sound like:

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
