VS-1 Specs
Discover what sets the VS-1 apart as a powerful and versatile MIDI controller that integrates effortlessly into your existing setup. Whether you're in the studio or performing on the road, the VS-1 is designed to meet your needs with unmatched precision and convenience.
Weight & Dimensions
Measuring 239mm L x 113mm W x 65mm D and weighing 1.7lbs, the VS-1 is a compact, yet solid powerhouse. Especially compared to other desktop controllers made of plastic and rubber. Its small size and solid weight make it a breeze to slot into your desktop rig or take on the road, without weighing you down or cluttering your desk, all while maintaining premiem quality and performance.
10 Mappable Pots + 1 Encoder Wheel
The VS-1 comes loaded with 10 assignable potentiometers, each pumping out 0-127 CC messages, giving you raw, unfiltered control over everything from filter sweeps to modulation chaos and LFO madness. And then there’s the pushbutton endless encoder, cranking out 0-127 CC messages to select presets with the precision of a laser. Map to the encoder button to whatever you like. But here's the kicker: the A/B toggle switch—a simple flip that doubles your mapping power to control two seperate VST's simutaniously.
A/B Bank Toggle Switch
The VS-1 A/B toggle switch is a savage little piece of hardware—one flick, and suddenly you’ve got 10 more pots, 3 more buttons, and one more encoder control w/button function at your command. Double the control over two VST at once, double the chaos. It’s a straight shot of power right to the heart of your VST's, and that metallic click when you flip the switch? Pure, unadulterated bliss.
3 Mappable
Buttons
Transport Control III. These three metal buttons, one with blue LED so you know you're powered, that demand to be mapped and pushed. There are no rules for these buttons, control them as you please. I suggest mapping them to your DAW's Stop, Play, Record Transport controls.
