Sampling Production Lab

Bento is a portable, all-in-one sampling production lab that brings together flexible sequencing, expressive performance tools, and pro-level connectivity—perfect as the centerpiece of your desktop or mobile rig. Whether you’re looping on the go, launching clips live, or sequencing your entire synth setup, Bento gives you the tools to shape your sound from idea to performance.

With pristine 24-bit sound quality, a bright 7” touchscreen, 16 responsive pads, and deep control over samples, MIDI, and effects, Bento offers a fast, fluid workflow in a compact and portable form. Sequence one-shots, build multi-sample instruments, and chop loops using Bento’s flexible tracks, scene-based sequencing, and expansive modulation and FX engine.

Designed to replace laptops, simplify cabling, and integrate seamlessly with your gear, Bento features multiple stereo inputs and outputs, USB-C host and device ports, dual TRS MIDI I/O, and a built-in battery for up to 3 hours of mobile creativity.
