Actually many models of hardware synth are low in the sense that they are outputting an instrument-level signal or a line-level signal that's weaker than what other equipment puts out, so when people complain about them being low that's what they mean.I’ve never heard of a snyth being too low
The remedy however is no different than what you already do when you plug mics, guitars and other instruments into the mixer: you crank up the volume on the synth, you plug the synth into the mixer and you turn up the channel's gain until it registers the signal. Then you adjust the channel's fader.
If the mixer doesn't have a gain for the line in, then you need to plug the synth into a DI box and the DI box in to the mixer's preamp, and adjust the channel's gain so that it registers the signal.
If you don't have extra preamp slots on the mixer, then plug the DI box into a dedicated preamp like the Radial PZ-pre, and plug the preamp into any line level input jack on the mixer.
