Personally I don't draw a line between being a "musician" or a "sound

artist" or a "DJ," nor do I think any of them is necessarily

"loftier" or more valid than another (my violist partner would

disagree). As in most things there are good ones and crappy ones,

smart ones and stupid ones. I've heard some really excellent mixing

and have even played on bills with some. I'm personally more into

"whacked-out" music, and I'm not especially into dance music (I did

enough of that in my teens and twenties). I'm also a fan of

Plunderphonics, and I don't think an artist necessarily has to create

all his/her sounds from scratch (pun intended).

I agree with Sean that the lack of an answer to your question is

probably due to simple ignorance of such a VST plug-in. Don't give up

hope, though.

Max/MSP is a programming language that would allow the creation of

just such a "soft" processor. One of the features of MSP is that you

can create VST plug-ins. There is even a collection of these called

Pluggo.

Max/MSP is probably outside your budget, and you probably don't want

to become a programmer anyway. Someone else might do it though. There

is a loop sequencer called radiaL due for release later this year.
