Full Description
Portable studio power without the laptop
Bento lets you produce, sample and perform without needing a computer. It combines the flexibility of software-based workflows with the simplicity and immediacy of a hardware unit. With up to three hours of battery life and a compact form, it fits easily into mobile setups, jam sessions or live rigs. No extra screens or cables – just power it on and dive into your music with complete freedom.

Versatile sound and sequencing options
With eight flexible tracks, you can layer sample banks, run loops, trigger granular audio or set up multisample patches. You can even use tracks for MIDI-out control, making Bento a powerful sequencer for your external gear. Step sequencing, piano roll input and randomisation tools help keep patterns fresh and evolving – perfect for creative composition or dynamic live sets.

Real-time control with intuitive interface
The 7-inch touchscreen makes it easy to edit samples, arrange clips and navigate your project. Sixteen pads give you performance-ready triggering, while eight endless encoders provide tactile control over parameters. If you're chopping samples or automating effects, the hands-on interface helps you stay focused on music rather than menus.

Full integration with your gear
Bento offers professional connectivity with three stereo inputs and outputs, MIDI I/O and USB-C for fast data handling. This makes it ideal for controlling synths, drum machines or external FX units. Internal modulation options (including LFOs, envelopes and step modulators) bring extra movement and expression to your sounds, all from one central hub.
