Malletension is a cutting-edge mallet instrument library designed to deliver a darker, more intense alternative to traditional mallet sounds. Unlike typical clean and ethereal mallet collections, this library emphasizes aggressive and otherworldly tones, making it ideal for contemporary scoring, modern pop, and EDM productions. With 3.5 GB of carefully crafted sample content and 100 presets for SampleTank 4, it offers a rich palette of unique sonic textures.

Featuring instruments such as marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, glockenspiel, and orchestra chimes, Malletension captures performances using various mallet types including yarn, felt, wood, and metal. These sounds have been processed with a blend of vintage analog gear and advanced digital tools to create distinct tonal qualities. Recorded with deep round robin techniques, each preset delivers a dynamic and natural playing experience, avoiding the repetitive and static feel common in older sample libraries.

Beyond traditional sounds, Malletension transforms natural harmonics and envelopes to produce futuristic chromatic percussion instruments that extend beyond the acoustic realm. For example, it offers a xylophone playable across the entire 88-note piano range with consistently musical and engaging tones. This library is perfect for adding exciting, bent, and hauntingly rich mallet sounds to your productions, enriching your sonic collection with textures that stand out and inspire creativity.
