At the heart of the device is a vibrant 7-inch touchscreen, complemented by 16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads and eight endless rotary controllers. This setup offers you an immersive and hands-on experience as you craft your masterpieces.

Bento is loaded with a dynamic scene-based workflow, which supports real-time recording, step sequencing, piano roll input, and even probability tools. With the ability to sequence eight tracks, each containing four sequences, you can build intricate compositions or engage in DAWless jam sessions.

The Bento's versatility shines through with its diverse sample playback modes. Whether you're working with chromatic multi-sampled instruments, pad-based drums, one-shots, or loops, Bento's got you covered. It also boasts beat slicing and granular capabilities, thanks to its heritage from 1010's Lemondrop.

Bento is no stranger to teaming up with your existing studio hardware. It boasts three stereo inputs, three stereo outputs, dual TRS MIDI I/O, and USB-C host/device ports. Moreover, the instrument comes with an effects engine featuring per-track delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, and phaser with automation, as well as an internal mixer for processing external sounds.

Bento promises to deliver a seamless, creative experience, shipping with 5GB+ of sample content, including multi-sampled synths and instruments from giants like Samples from Mars, Soundtrack Loops, and Drew Neumann. The device also offers internal 24-bit resampling and sample streaming from its microSD.

Best of all, Bento is completely standalone thanks to its built-in battery, offering up to 3 hours of wireless operation.
