Hi everybody,

I have a noob question but seems like either I am missing something (like the dict/map of the title) or it is a daunting task to find the correct plugin for a particular result.
The context of my need: I wanted to do a small project to take a piece of melody and remix it in a complete different style. The original being a simple piano part, I thought that it would be just a question of playing it with the new rhythm of the variation, adding some rhythmic ref and polish it.
My problem is: I know what type of sound I need (some synth, some textured bass beats) but I have no clue which of the gazillion VST plugins should help. And even choosing a music style is getting me closer to which list of plugins would be applicable.
Hence my question: is there any source of information where I could use a music style or artist and get a list of VST plugins I could use to get relevant sounds ?

Thanks in advance for your guidance and sorry if I am taking the problem from the wrong end.

the idea that certain software is targeted to a certain style of music is probably not a very widespread idea.

yout best bet is to ask for suggesttion for the concrete case. if you describe what you are looking for it will be easy to recommend something.

alternatively you could install the ca. 40 commercial, polyphonic instruments and then go for trial and error.

Thanks IIO for your reply. I know that one plugin could be used for multiple styles. Hence my noobish assumption that some knowledge base.
In my case, I was trying to identify in the Children (dream version) from Robert Miles:
=> the kind of echo/delay applied to the piano and harpsichord
=> what is used for the beat starting from 2:00 (found some kind of techno-ish beat in the default instruments but not quite the same)
=> what instrument is used for the heartbeat pulsing on the chords (also after 2:00)

Those would be the ingredients I will need to apply to the basic beat+synth I recorder with the midi keyboard to give it more texture 

Thanks for your help wading through plugins whose names don't help me much for now.
