The Mellosoftron is a low latency, fully programmable virtual sampler. In short, it turns your PC into a sampler which you can play live with a MIDI keyboard, with a sequencer or with any MIDI file player. Any sound card with a DirectSound 3 (or later) driver will do - you don't need a particular brand or model. You can edit all instrument patches and create new ones from scratch using your own WAVs as sound sources. Since it comes with an integrated patch editor and uses the same file formats (PRGs and WAVs) as WAVmaker and the MIDInight Express, the Mellosoftron is the ideal tool for the creation of your own soft synth instruments. Add the Acid WAV synthesizer and sound editor and you have a virtual recording studio inside your PC!
Our Review: With superb retro-electronic design, inventive mouse controls and some powerful features Mellosoftron (named after the good old Mellotron!) is a one stop shop for creating and editing instrument patches and fits in perfectly with the other members of Polyhedric Software's family MIDInight Express, AcidWAV and WAVmaker to create an enviable audio suite. Everything from the cool green/black display (complete with 80's computer font) and the 2D volume modulation and resonance controls to the quickly accessible and flexible patch-editing is simply a joy to use. Recommended.
