Summary
Mellowson is a virtual instrument plugin series offered by SampleScience that includes multi-sampled sounds of acoustic instruments and unique tonal sources. It is available as plugin versions with effects and sound-shaping capabilities, as well as versions compatible with the free Decent Sampler and Kontakt players.
Features
- Multi-sampled instruments such as upright piano (Cozy Piano), handpan, guzheng, and processed guitars.
- Effect options typically include distortion, delay, chorus, and reverb in the plugin versions.
- Amplitude ADSR envelope, multi-LFO (Low Frequency Oscillators), highpass/lowpass filters, and amplitude range controls.
- Three voice modes: polyphonic, monophonic, and legato.
- Multiple release formats available including VST/VST3/AU/AAX/AUv3 plugins, Decent Sampler libraries, Kontakt instruments, Soundbox plugins, and Reason Combinator patches.
- Support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and iPadOS platforms depending on the version (such as Decent Sampler).
Compatibility and Requirements
The plugins run on 64-bit VST/VST3/AU hosts and require at least a quad-core 2 GHz CPU with 4 GB (or more) of RAM. Specific disk space requirements vary by instrument (from about 40 MB to multiple GBs depending on the instrument and sample size).
Typical Use Cases
The instruments and sounds are suitable for electronic musicians and producers who want authentic sampled acoustic tones, meditative or ambient textures (e.g., handpan), or creatively processed guitar sounds without playing guitar. Cozy Piano and other instruments provide warm, intimate, and natural-sounding options for cinematic cues, lofi music, and underscore production.
