Cant read retrologue 2 - its too small

I simply drag the corner all my other vst instruments to make them bigger - and many have a focus option which allows you to supersize a particular part of the vst.

My eyesight is not great and I want to use retrologue. everything else with cubase is fine. Is there a way to make this plugin bigger? It only occupies less than 25% of my screen area.

thanks

Buy an additional screen with a 1440x900 resolution.

Seriously, there is no way to scale Retrologue independently of the OS.

Yepp, this is ridiculous.

We are in 2025, not in 2005.

We are now in a time of computer music where there “vintage digital” plugins are a thing. Steinberg understands that and provides the original 2005 experience.

(As an aside, as someone with also not-so-great-eyesight don’t feel “everything else” in Cubase ist fine. I think a lot of the fonts are next to illegible, at least on a QHD screen, where they are like 7 pixels high…)

They know this needs addressing - across all their plugins…

Free Zoom or select scale? (GUI size) - Virtual instruments / Retrologue - Steinberg Forums

However, more patience is asked for (they say).

“Steinberg understands that and provides the original 2005 experience” HA HA Thanks! I needed a laugh today!

Thanks for the link and insight. I guess many people have the same concern.

I really wanted to used the arp feature in retrologue. I did find somewhat of a solution. I have the full version of halion 7. it is possible to add a flex phraser to an instrument. the resulting screen is still not really scalable but the graphics are better. See example below.

Ans then risk being bitten by the yet to be fixed bug of plugins not opening when you have two monitors with different resolutions and dpi?

Retrologue 2 could use a 4K scaled UI overhaul :joy:

I recently tried to run Steinberg Neon and Karlette by installing an older version of cubase and just fool around with it. The plugins were so small it would have made the windows95 taskbar look like IMAX.
