TAETRO Unleashes the 1010music Bento: Portable Groovebox, Heavyweight Moves

TAETRO dives headfirst into the 1010music Bento, a groovebox that’s got more tricks up its sleeve than a dodgy street magician. Forget the usual suspects—this box crams granular, looping, and multisampling into a form factor that actually fits in your bag. If you’re sick of menu-diving and want a touchscreen that doesn’t make you want to throw the thing out a window, this one’s worth a look. We break down why TAETRO thinks the Bento punches above its weight, where it stumbles, and how it stacks up against the big names. Spoiler: it’s not just another plastic wannabe.
