1010music bento - Compact all-in-one sampling studio for mobile and desktop setups

In today's music production, flexibility, mobility and intuitive operation are more in demand than ever. With the 1010music bento, the manufacturer is launching an innovative standalone sampling studio that meets precisely these requirements. Whether as the centerpiece of a live setup, in the studio or on the road - bento offers an impressive combination of creative functions, high-quality workmanship and state-of-the-art technology in a compact device.

1010music - pioneers of mobile music production

1010music is known for its pioneering concepts in the field of electronic music production. The California-based company specializes in compact, powerful music tools that offer musicians maximum creative freedom - no matter where they are. With products such as Blackbox, Bluebox and Nanobox, 1010music has set new standards. The 1010music bento takes this philosophy a step further: as a versatile, portable studio with extensive sampling and sequencing capabilities that is both intuitive and professional.

Technical details of the 1010music bento

The 1010music bento is more than just a sampler - it is a comprehensive production system in miniature format. The large, bright 7-inch touchscreen enables direct, visual interaction with all functions - from sample editing to sequencing and effects processing. The interface is complemented by 16 velocity-sensitive pads and 8 freely assignable endless encoders for expressive performance control and in-depth sound manipulation.

The system offers eight flexible tracks that can be used as sample banks, loops, granular samplers, multisample instruments, slicers or MIDI out tracks. This allows you to create classic beats, modular setups or performative live sets in equal measure. Thanks to the step sequencer with piano roll function, probability parameters and scene-based structure, complex arrangements are just as possible as spontaneous jams.

The integrated effects engine provides professional sound processing with delay, reverb, chorus, flanger and phaser. LFOs, envelopes and an additional step sequencer are available for lively modulations, which can be routed internally to almost any parameter - a powerful tool for sound designers and performers.

The connectivity is also impressive: three stereo inputs and outputs, dual TRS MIDI I/Os and two USB-C ports (for host and device connections) make the 1010music bento a flexible control center. An integrated rechargeable battery with up to three hours of runtime rounds off the package and enables creative use away from the mains - ideal for outdoor sessions, traveling or spontaneous recordings on the go.

Why the 1010music bento is the future of mobile music production

The 1010music bento intelligently combines the functions of a sampler, sequencer, effects processor and MIDI controller in one compact device. Especially for musicians who want to design their workflows independently of laptops and tangled cables, bento offers a groundbreaking alternative. With its intuitive touchscreen, reactive pads and intelligent structure, it appeals to both producers and performers.

In the studio, it functions as a powerful looper, sample player or MIDI center. Live, it impresses with its clip-based control, the ability to switch scenes and direct control over effects and parameters. And when traveling, it is a creative notepad that captures sound ideas in the highest audio quality - anytime and anywhere.

Thanks to its compact size and sophisticated design, bento fits easily into any setup. It replaces several individual devices and significantly reduces the complexity of the signal paths. If you want to rethink music production, this device is a must-have.

Flexible sound design at the highest level

Sound design and sampling are at the heart of the 1010music bento. The ability to record and edit your own samples, transform them into multisamples or break them down granularly opens up countless creative possibilities. The modular structure of the tracks makes it possible to create a completely individual project - whether rhythm-oriented or experimental.

The integration of internal modulation sources ensures movement in the sound, while the high-quality effects give the sound depth and character. Thanks to the precise control via touchscreen and encoder, work flows smoothly - a workflow that inspires rather than slows you down.

With the option of sequencing external MIDI hardware or seamlessly integrating into a DAW-based setup, bento is extremely easy to connect. It becomes the centerpiece of any production without imposing itself - flexible, powerful and intuitive.
