Kenton Pro Solo and Pro 2000 allow configuring different CV formats, like Hz/V and V/oct, and store these as presets, catering to varied synth requirements.

The Kenton Pro Solo is noted for its configurability, making it suitable for complex setups involving diverse CV and gate requirements of multiple synths.

The Kenton PRO 2000 Mk II supports CV polyphony, capable of controlling multiple synth voices simultaneously, a feature highlighted by users for complex setups.

The Dark Link lacks a unified pitch bend output, which can be problematic for synths like the SH-101 that don't have separate pitch bend inputs.

Owners using Moog MG-1 need to offset CV by -0.415v or +0.581v for correct note output, highlighting the precision required for tuning with different synths.

SH-3 requires modification to accept CV/gate input, emphasizing the need for customization when integrating vintage synths with MIDI setups.

The PRO 2000 Mk II is effectively used for polyphony on diverse systems, including System 100, EMS Synthi A, and Eurorack, showcasing its versatility in complex synth setups.

Micromoog's CV input requires attenuation and offsetting by pressing C on its keybed due to its non-standard 1v/oct input and F-starting pitch.

Users note the stability of the Kenton PRO 2000 Mk II in maintaining tuning with synths like Oberheim SEMs and Serge Modular, despite vintage gear's notorious drift.

Some owners report that while older gear like the EMS Synthi A can drift, the Kenton PRO 2000 Mk II still manages to keep them in tune adequately for performances.

An owner found the 101 module of the System 100 prone to tuning instability, yet still usable with the PRO 2000 for session-length durations.

Owners report Kenton's products, including the Pro 2000 and Pro Solo MkII, as reliable with solid build quality, even in complex setups.

The Kenton PRO 2000 Mk II is contrasted with the Oberheim 8 voice, with users noting the latter's lack of precise control features, impacting the sound's liveness.

MicroBrute is highlighted as a versatile alternative, offering USB/MIDI/CV connectivity and the ability to process external audio, effectively creating a 2-oscillator setup.

Tubbutec's SH-1oh1 MIDI upgrade is recommended for SH-101, adding extensive features beyond MIDI, though it requires more installation effort.

The Doepfer Dark Link is about $80 cheaper than the Kenton but may compromise on features like note priority and pitch bend capabilities.
