Power Adapter PowerAdapterHeadphones12 13Quick Start GuidePRO VS MINI (EN) How Vector Synthesis works Unlike conventional synthesis, where oscillators are blended together to produce the basis for a sound, Vector Synthesis allows the balance of four oscillators to be continuously adjusted by both the joystick and using the mix envelope. The timbre of the sound can thus be changed subtly or dramatically as you play, depending on the waveforms you pick for each oscillator and how much mix automation you use. When the waveform mix joystick is in its central position all four oscillators have equal precedence. Moving the joystick upwards will increase the level of oscillator B while decreasing that of oscillator D; A and C remain the same. Equally moving it to the left increases the level of oscillator A against C while not aecting B and D. Therefore, for example, placing the joystick between A and B (North West) would give an equal amount of each of these oscillators while C and D will not contribute. Moving laterally to South East decreases A and B while increasing C and D proportionally, until A and B are not heard. The result is a sound that morphs within a 2D plane with the joystick movement, mixed with the automation of the mix envelope. PRO VS MINI Controls (EN) Step 2: Controls14 15Quick Start Guide

OVERVIEW This ‘getting started’ guide will help you set up your PRO VS MINI and briey introduce its capabilities. CONNECTION To connect the PRO VS MINI to your system, please consult the connection guide earlier in this document. SOFTWARE SETUP The PRO VS MINI is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required. The PRO VS MINI does not require any additional drivers to work with Windows and MacOS. HARDWARE SETUP Make all the connections in your system. Keep the PRO VS MINI power turned o when making any connections. Ensure your sound system is turned down. Turn on the PRO VS MINI before turning on any power ampliers and turn it o last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn o “pops or thumps” in your speakers.

We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the PRO VS MINI to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold). This will allow the precision analog circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance. FIRMWARE UPDATE Please check the behringer.com website regularly forany updates to theBehringer SYNTHTRIBE app. Theapp looks for the latestrmware lewhich can thenbe downloaded and used to update the PRO VS MINI.
