Beta and previous firmware versions for bento are available from bento firmware channel of the 1010music Official Discord server. You can also find the original factory presets on discord.

Note: You need to have a Discord account to access the discord server.

Here is what’s new compared to version 3.0.

• DJ FX with XY control including repeater, gater, echo, bitcrusher, and flanger
• Per pad overdrive algorithm
• Multiselect and editing in the piano roll sequence editor
• Supports import of multisample sets using the filename to set the root note and velocity
• Sample pool is now 576 samples instead of 80 samples
• Loads loop points embedded into multisample sets. A great source for this kind of material is Samples From Mars.
• Sleep mode: Hold the BACK button to put the unit to sleep
• When threshold based recording is active (RecThres: ON), you will create a Sample by default.
• When record quantization (Rec Quant) is anything but none, you will always record a clip and the length in beats will be embedded in the WAV file for future use.
• You can now create clips that are non-power of two length. Use recording quantization as desired and Length: Custom to capture. The result will default to Clip Mode and automatic playback (RecToPlay) will work as expected.
• Importing sets with velocity layers would not play correctly.

Version 1.2.33 includes some new features:

• Bypass button on the EQ. Press the B button for a short cut to toggle the bypass.
• Capture reverb and delay tails when using MIDI transport. Use the option in TOOLS to switch off processing of the Midi Stop command. Turn it off to stop recording manually.
• Count in for recording. Look in PROJ plus the B button for this option
• Additional file name information when using punch in. The filename will include the starting position for easy placement in a DAW.

New in version 1.2.21:

• Supports USB class audio, meaning you don’t need a driver to interface with a Mac, PC, iOS, or Android device.
• Send the master output on the bluebox in stereo to your computer or device.
• Play a stereo signal on your computer or device and have it replace the audio input of your choice on bluebox.

Here is a quick overview of how to use it:

• Connect the USB POWER port on your bluebox to your computer or device. Please note that the power requirements of bluebox make this a little less simple than described. You have three options:
  • Find a port on your computer capable of delivering 2A of power to the device
  • Use a powered USB hub that can deliver 2A of power and connect to a computer at the same time
  • Get one of our USB splitter cables that separates the power connection from the signal connection. Connect the power side to a wall adapter like before. Connect the signal side to your computer.
• The bluebox will always be sending the master output to the device or computer. Configure your audio software as necessary to listen to the audio device named 1010music bluebox.
• When you play an audio source on your computer or device and send it to the device named 1010music bluebox, it will appear as one of the inputs on bluebox. Look on the MAIN – B screen for the USB Rcv parameter to choose which input to replace. From there on the incoming USB signal will behave just like a physical input, including the ability to add effects, record, etc.
• If you are running a complex setup using a DAW, then watch out for feedback. It’s possible to create a loop back path between the computer and bluebox. You can always mute the channel coming from the PC or disable it completely in MAIN – B with USB Rcv set to None if needed.

Beta and past firmware versions for bluebox are available from the bluebox desktop firmware channel of the 1010music Official Discord server. You can also find the original factory presets there.

Note: You need a Discord account to access the Discord server.
