1010music Bento Sampling Production Lab and Sequencer

The 1010music Bento Sampling Production Lab is a portable standalone sampler, sequencer, synthesizer, and performance workstation for computer-free music creation. It combines eight flexible tracks, a 7-inch touchscreen, expressive pads, hands-on controls, professional audio routing, integrated effects, and battery power in a compact desktop format.

Bento supports sample-based composition, live looping, clip launching, multisampled instruments, sliced loops, granular sound design, wavetable synthesis, and external MIDI sequencing. Producers seeking a portable standalone sampler can build complete arrangements, capture external instruments, resample internal audio, and perform finished projects without bringing a laptop to the studio or stage.

Three stereo inputs, three stereo outputs, a dedicated headphone output, dual MIDI input and output pairs, and USB-C host and device ports simplify integration with synthesizers, modular equipment, controllers, and recording systems. Its 24-bit converters, expandable microSD storage, scene-based workflow, and 100 x 100 VESA mounting compatibility support dependable desktop, mobile, and live-production use.

Key Features

• Eight Flexible Tracks: Create projects with sample banks, loops, multisamples, slicers, granular synthesis, wavetable synthesis, or external MIDI control.
• Expressive Performance Interface: Play sounds using 16 pressure- and velocity-sensitive pads with individual level, pitch, pan, effects, and modulation control.
• Seven-Inch Touchscreen: Navigate instruments, sequences, scenes, routing, modulation, and sample-editing functions through a bright visual interface.
• Scene-Based Sequencing: Build arrangements using step sequencing, piano-roll editing, probability functions, and real-time clip launching.
• Integrated Sampling and Resampling: Record external sources, capture the master output, create synchronized loops, and save recordings as WAV files.
• Built-In Effects Engine: Process individual tracks with delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, phaser, and overdrive effects.
• Professional Connectivity: Route instruments and processors through three stereo inputs, three stereo outputs, MIDI connections, and USB-C ports.
• Rechargeable Battery: Produce or perform for up to three hours in low-power mode without continuous external power.
