So if you want a 12-note JI scale, I take it you would have to be able to
map one sample per key on the keyboard in one octave? Mellosoftron is
capable of this?

Yes, and a bit more.

From the Mellosoftron help files:

"The actual samples are kept in WAV files. PRGs assign WAV files to keys
(notes) and impose performance parameters (base volume and pan position,
controller sensitivities, envelope shape, loop points...). Each key on the
128-note MIDI keyboard can have its own individual sample file(s) and
performance parameters."

but please note:

"You need at least a Pentium 90 just to launch it, and an even faster CPU
(as of version 3.0, at least a Pentium 266 is recommended) for reliable low
latency operation. Please note that Pentium clones from Cyrix and AMD (prior
to the Athlon) tend to suffer from slow FPU (Floating Poiunt Unit)
operation, which is crucial to the Mellosoftron's performance."
