I suspect you'll have to pay for these. 
What's your aversion to MIDI files? Like 
everything, they need to be put together 
properly and then used to control a decent 
sound source, but they can sound pretty good. 
Certainly if you're able to spend some time 
re-assigning the instruments to 'proper' 
software instruments like Reason the results 
can be really good.

Just a question of seeking out some decent ones.
