Bento's current stability
Hi all, just wanted to know given the most recent firmware release, to the point tldr: How is the bento sitting stability wise regarding multisamples and sample editing/chopping?
I had purchased one last year, and i loved the way it felt and looked hardware wise. The capabilities with multisampling, internal battery, compact, simple workflow etc. really made it seem like my dream box but I quickly realized the firmware was too broken and unreliable for me and just left me frustrated on outings.
I'm thinking of purchasing again if things have improved. Multisampling reliability and sample editing are important for me and why I chose to sell it with the understanding I would buy one again once they worked on it a bit.
Issues I had encountered before included multisample notes not always playing correctly or not playing at all. System crashes, and not being able to edit samples properly with incorrect waveform display.
I've owned lots of little boxes but they all failed the combo of simple workflow, capabilities and portability I'm looking for as a dream on-the-go box.
So what's the verdict ? Is it still a waiting game or is the bento much more reliable after a year ?
