Elevator Pitch

Product Description
How It’s Innovative
The depth of features for sampling (multi-sampled instruments, beat-sliced loops, granular synthesis), sequencing, mixing and performing are on a par with top software packages but bento puts it all into one portable package. It is a ongoing development platform too, with regular updates offering new features.
