....... sample something else.
or
think outside the box..... does that sample need to be really clean. what can you do with it in its present condition.
in many cases all you have do is get rid of the physical bass sounds. when you start wrapping new sounds round it you will find that the vocal is the only part of the sample you hear. The stuff you have been trying to remove probally helps make the track interesting.
this is all speculation. just use the force!

The demo track is very basic, everything is separated clearly, not only the hard left/center/right panning with nearly no spilling but also the frequencies.
Have you tried the demo with other material? As in all-frequencies-spill-heavy-metal or compressed and fx'ed to death Britney Spears pop?
Or a very simple example in comparison with our brain: Record two people talking at the same time. Your brain can separate them (it listens to the characteristics of the voice far beyond their frequency fingerprint and even takes the context of what was said into account) - try it using this software...
I tried the Elevayta demo with Madonna's "Holiday" and tried the "vocal extract" preset and a Utility before it to fiddle with the width of the stereo signal that feeds the plug-in (which has an enormous effect on how it responds) and I basically got the vocal, the claps (Which are noise and in the middle of the stereo image) there are still some keyboards leaking through but if you would edit the extracted track by hand you'd be able to clean up the vocal a lot more, and if you were then to program your own beats on top it sure would sound like a remix! Quite impressed...
