Makes perfect sense to keep it.

I mean itās really an inexpensive synth so Iād just keep it and explore it at some point. I went to a Guitar Center to see how much they are paying. They offered $30.

dudeā¦just bought one used and please tell me Iām wrong but I called Thomann and they confirmed itā¦the Pro VS Midi has Mono Output. Even with the new FW 2.0. The Reverbā¦the Chorusā¦the Ensemble FXā¦all you get out of the Headphone Jack is a Mono Signal. I checked 2 Headphones, 4 Cablesā¦and my Oscilloscope only showing a fkn lineā¦dudeā¦reverbā¦chorusā¦and Thomann Support was like: yeah if you think about it, all synths are mono!..dudeā¦
It started life as a mono so itās a hardware limitation. No firmware updates will change that so the new FX are just a bonus

An excellent synthesizer with its own character. As usual, terrible presets but thatās not surprising)
the controls are not the most convenientā¦itās especially annoying that there is no direct access to Filter ENV and memory for only 32 presets.
I was a little surprised that the output is mono, but I donāt see a problem with that.
Iāve always been skeptical about hybrid synths and bought it without expectations but I must say that this synthesizer has its own unique palette.
in short, I recommend it!
donāt draw conclusions based on presets. Some mediocre person programmed them

Has anyone found the output on this synth to be very quiet when compared to something like a Roland S1? Iāve got a handful of other synths Iāve compared with and on average the output seems to be at about 50% of the rest of my gear.
Wouldnāt be a problem if I werenāt daisy chaining the signal into my S1 then into Digitakt and if I didnāt gave my other input already occupied. Even adjusting the input and lowering the S1 volume I still cannot get it loud enough to sit well in my mix.
Saw one other reddit post about output volume but no answers really! Sounds decent and would hate to have to resample to use it effectively.
in my case Pro vs quieter than pro-1 but I donāt see any problems with adjusting levels and recording into DT 1ā¦
what kind of cable/adapter do you use for Pro vs out?
So its a mono 3.5mm output on the VS, I have that daisy chained into two roland S1s then into Digitakt II left channel with a mono 3.5 to 1/4.
Even when skipping the S1 daisy chain and feeding straight into Digitakt, maxed out input volume and max volume on Pro VS Mini, it just seems to sit real quiet in the mix.
For reference, S1 in particular has to sit at about 40% volume to sound match levels with the VS at 100% volume. Midi Velocity is also at 127.
So weird, should probably have a proper mix in the setup to boost that channel but not tryna buy more gear, kinda dumb to need one anyway just because the thing is quiet.
in your case i would match levels (100%Vs and 40% S1) and then boost it on Dt2 ins (at 125-127) and than match Dt2 ins with other Dt2 tracksā¦
orā¦something like this before DT2

The manual doesnāt say anything about this: can i record chords into the sequencer?
And is the joystick position saved with a patch or you always have toāprogramā the vector envelope?
